MIME type association with file extension
How do I associate a program with a file extension using NSIS during installation. I searched the forums, help and the web but no answer. Please advise.
I am trying to install on Windows XP. There is a Application association plugin for Vista. But my target is Windows XP.

Thanks. That helps. I suggest to include this in the examples as this is one of the frequently encountered problem.


The macro associates file extension. But I need to associate the mime type with the executable so it can be launched from browser. I think registering mime type is similar to file extension. But wanted to know if this is already supported in NSIS...
