Good morning,

I'm trying to modify the tis-adobereader package that I imported into my local repository. To associate .pdf files with Adobe Reader, I added the following instruction to my setup.py file:

Code: Select all

register_ext('Adobe Acrobat Reader DC', '.pdf', '"' + makepath(programfiles32, 'Adobe', 'Acrobat Reader DC', 'Reader', 'AcroRd32.exe') + '" "%1"')
Windows still asks me which software to use to open the file when I double-click on a PDF.

Am I using the register_ext function correctly?

THANKS!

The method used by wapt no longer works since Windows 8: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/mrm ... -protocol/
