FileAssociation.nsh on the Windows 7
Actually I use FileAssociation.nsh.

I have a large script which works perfectly on the Windows XP but absolutely doesn't on the Windoes 7 and Vista.

Does anybody know what to do with this?

Thnks for advices.

It might help if you told us WHAT specifically doesn't work on Vista and 7... It's not like we can smell it over distance.

well, I try to associate avi files with my simple player. But after installing on the Win7 they still are played by the previous player (WMP)

well, Thank you, Animaether.

But maybe anyone has ready solution by means of NSIS and especially FileAssociation.nsh?

Not with FileAssociation.nsh

There is a plugin...

...but there may be problems with it (very recent thread)...

...and if I read MSDN correctly.. if you install for all users, the application you install would have to prompt the user whether to make it the default -per user-, as their existing settings take preference over what the installer would set at the machine level.
