Can't set PrimalXML as Default Program... again.
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2018 9:13 am
PrimalXML 2018 Version 4.4.475 - 64bit, Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
This is a repeat of my last post on this when upgrading from PrimalXML 2016 to PrimalXML 2017...
After a recent update from PrimalXML 2016 to PrimalXML 2017, my PrimalXML was no longer the default XML program. I went through the usual Open with... Choose default program. PrimalXML wasn't listed in Recommended Programs... or Other Programs... I click Browse..., navigate to PrimalXML.exe and click Open. Nothing happens in the Open with... dialog. I click OK and get "The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I go through the Default Programs in control panel process and get the same result.
PrimalXML works fine on my system, except for the annoying intermittent scrolling issue that's been around for several years, I just can't seem to make it the default xml program. I've associated xml to another xml editor and then tried to associate it to PrimalXML, but still no joy.
This time I have the reg entries that are still hanging around for PrimalXML 2017. To fix the issue last time I did a find/replace in the registry "PrimalXML 2016" to "PrimalXML 2017". I'm assuming that will fix this issue again, but wanted to list them so you can research the problem:

Let me know if you need, hopefully not all of, the actual entries and not just the locations.
