Setup and Deployment: Displaying app in 'Open With' dialog only for our file type.

vikramadith

We have developed an app which is being distributed using an MSI created using Visual Studio 2005. File type associations are being set up nicely.

The only problem is that our application is appearing in the 'Open With' dialog for every file type, not just ours.

Of course, many other applications have the same behaviour, but I have noticed that some applications do not behave this way. How is it that they appear in the 'Open With' dialog only when their associated file type is right clicked?

Please help.

I created an msi using the Setup Wizard, but don't seem to be able to create a shortcut to the applicaton on the desktop (or prompt for one) or the menu. Also, I would like to add an "uninstall" to this, but don't see that it allows for this? Am I missing something?

Setup copies all the files to that location,...

My C# code is I18N'ed by appropriately naming and editing .resx files. At execution time, it works. My C++ code is somewhat I18N'ed. When I put UI code in C++ I use .rc files. When I link to a third party's DLLs I get what they supplied. When I link to Microsoft's CRT and MFC, um... Well anyway, at execution time it seems to be working, except when a third party's DLL has a secret dependency. But what about the installer? A Visual...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
