WriteRegStr problem
Hi,
I want to add to the registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MyApp\shell\open\command
@="C:\program files\MyAppDir\MyApp.exe" "%1"
My problem that if I write in the nsi file:
WriteStrReg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT "MyApp\shell\open\command" '"$INSTDIR\MyApp.exe" "%1"' then the translation is:
WriteStrReg: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MyApp\shell\open\command="$INSTDIR\MyApp.exe" "%1"
and the parser think the "%1" is another parameter and aborts.
how can I solve this problem
Thanks

Use this if you want to create a file association (which I can only assume you do, because that's what it looks like):

WriteRegStr HKCR ".crap" "" "crapfile"
WriteRegStr HKCR "crapfile\DefaultIcon" "" "$INSTDIR\MyApp.exe,0" ;use this if your icon is part of MyApp.exe, use $INSTDIR\MyIcon.ico if your icon is a separate file
WriteRegStr HKCR "crapfile\shell\open\command" "" '"$INSTDIR\MyApp.exe" "%1"'
