File association question

Hello ,

After installing the application, if I right click on the file
associated with the application and select the option "Play", it only
opens the application, but does not play the file. The files plays
perfectly fine when I open the file from the application itself.
What properties do I set in the File Types editor of the Setup
project? Currently, the File Types editor has the argument "
/prefetch:7 /Play "%L"" against the action "Play ". Do I need
additional code in the windows application to accomplish this?
Thanks very much,
TS

The application has to be setup to handle command line parameters. It's
nothing in your file association.

Thanks, Chris, for the lead that you gave. I shall continue working on
that.
