When launching setdefault (during install, or after), some keys which are about exts aren't updated:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\<.ext>\UserChoice

Curiously, when running it under real admin, set aren't set too, but it works.

Maybe these are set up in HKLM\... while under admin?

(Sorry I can't test it cause I don't use LUA - always admin )

No, it can't be in HKLM, these keys don't exist.

@ JujuLand;

I send you by mail the files modified of KMPackager Installer that I used for 1.6 Beta2.

I have just now modified kmPackager to run correctly on my silly Seven system. It will be easier to test and compile on the same machine.

For now, always unable to set K-Meleon as default. I'm searching...

The packager is not able to make K-Meleon default on a XP SP3 system run as Admin.

No ideas how to improve. Except attach protocols to K-Meleon one by one.

Currently Opera is default.

How do I get readings of the registry settings that we need when I change it to other browsers an back to Opera?

Guenter,

The reason of this problem is not due to kmPackager, but to setdefault.exe

I have put Tux kmPackager online, but unfortunatelly, it seems there is some problem on my site due to some proxy, probably.

The files are ok on ftp, but are in old version on html.

To temporary solve this problem I have renamed the 7z archive with the name of an already existing file.

Unfortunately, it's always bad, and the file download is not the last...

Shit ...

I have upload it here: http://ge.tt/8p0a4MB?c
Hope you can download it.

Read the readme.txt

Report the problem you can encounter...

For the registry problems, I see in installer.nsi from Seamonkey, that they use 3 plugins from nsis. It's perhaps the solution:

# Also requires:
# AppAssocReg
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Application_Association_Registration_plug-in
# ShellLink plugin
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ShellLink_plug-in
# UAC

Hi,

I can't make it work for extensions (it works for protocols)

I have tried to use the plugin AppAssocReg 0.4, but, or I don't use it correctly, or it doesn't work.

Here is the content of the 7z file I join:

AppAssocReg-04.zip = the complete plugin
AppAssocReg-Example.nsi = the source of the example I have just modified for K-Meleon
AppAssocReg-Example.exe = the compiled example
SetDefault.nsi = the source of SetDefault
SetDefault.exe = the compiled SetDefault program
RegAssoc.png = hardcopy of the results I have

How to test it :

1) To unset K-Meleon associations, install Seamonkey 2.0.14, and set it by default

2) Rename Setdefault.exe (the one in place in K-Meleon folder) extract mine in K-Meleon folder.

3) To help to see the result, put a shortcut of an html file ( you can copy it 4 times and rename the extension (htm, shtml, xht, xhtml), create a link of an url http, and copy it 3 times, and edit the link and replace it by https, ftp or gopher. You will then have visual results, when setdefault will do the job.

4) launch K-Meleon => F2 > Setdefault (minimize K-Meleon Window)

After having set K-Meleon, launch AppAssocReg-Example.exe.

Report here what are the result on your machine

Warning, the version I made isn't complete, and the registry isn't cleaned when uninstalling, and also, previous values are saved.

If you want to use it, you can easily complete registration by using the right-click on the htm, html, shtml, xht and xhtml on the desktop => Open with => Change the default program.

I admit it's not enough, but it can help before we haven't found the way to do it from within SetDefault.

Let's test test and report, and, if you have an idea about where I miss, thanks to help and report.

@ Guenter,

I haven't have return about TuxKmPackager. Have-you make it work under you Seven install ?

Thanks

I done the same job, but this page isn't enough

I have found a page where it describes a function to use with c++, for example, which does the trick, but I'm not a programmer, and I think it would be too much complicate, and nsis does it correctly.

The problem is in fact Seven ...

You haven't report the result of the tests I ask for.

Hey JujuLand,

tried all releases of SetDefault in Windows XP SP3
and all failed to register file extensions.

I made a new one and tested on my system only.
I've fixed some problems in TuxKmPackager and
enabled extensions in both.

Install/Uninstall works with restore of all keys.

SetDefault.exe (Executable!)

Notes

I know nothing about new features
in Vista/Seven registry, but hope that
those keys didn't change.

adodupan, getting support for my browser here.

But it was guenter who told kicked me to fix it.

You haven't reported the result of the tests I didn't ask you for.
Does it work in any other Windows version?

@ deadlock,

I know that the version doesn't work anymore with XP (not only SP3), because i deleted all the previous registry keys modifications. It was just for Seven testing purpose.

I can't download your Setdefault

Try again I checked - it works.

http://dhost.info/kmeleonskins/KM1.6b3/base/SetDefault.exe

@adodupan
Your reg shot 'Too many unnecessary keys.'
contains keys that are not modified by setDef.
It is missing the .URL keys I've added.
Does Seven prevent their creation?

Some of the "unnecessary keys are for backup
of previous value and they are used by uninstall.

SetDefault can use version detection to add
specific keys. This is what we need:
1) Exact Windows Version.
2) A working reg- or inf-file (important!).
3) Admin or user? (keys were written)

explain this ??

As I answer to a deadlock mail, the keys are known, but it's just the way to register it which is not easy.

adudopan
3) Admin or user? (keys were written)
As Alain's file, your way also requires admin authority.

Perhaps, but I you look to the harcopy I put in the file, you'll see that after launching setdefault,in the report of the nsis plugin sample, K-Meleon is registered, but HKCU keys applied are set.

But your right, to go faster, I have remove or modified the admin test, and it can work for me, and not for you.

I will try reintroducing Admin tests.

>Your reg shot 'Too many unnecessary keys.' contains keys that are not >modified by setDef.
>Trust me, it's all changed with SetDef.exe.
Trust me, you're wrong. Example:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify]
'LastAdvertisement'='hex(11):80,EC,71,D3,77,CB,CC,01'
'UserStartTime'='hex(11):60,51,0B,A8,95,01,CB,01'

Your system's internal activity changes registry values all time.

>Also, you do not need .URL value in the key FileAssociations.
On my system (XP SP3) it was associated
with Internet Explorer, that's why I added it.
Default browser is used if it is not set.

>>2) A working reg- or inf-file (important!).
>explain this ??
Create a KM-All-Required-Keys-Sample.reg
file that works on your system.
I'll modify SetDefault for Seven with your keys.

>As Alain's file, your way also requires admin authority.
I didn't remove keys yet.
Changes for users without privileges will follow later.

>Here you do mess:
>[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\Capabilities]
Thanks, but it was not me, all credits go to the previous author.
That's obviously a typo in Alain's sources.
I'll fix it for next upload with updated version number.

Forgot one thing before posting:
I'm using keyname K-MeleonHTML instead of K-Meleon.HTML.
Should I change it back to the old value?

Should we post a file to cleanup dead keys
for those who are testing?

@adodupan
The reg-file with the hint to wrong keys
did help and I found some more.
I will remove .URL again (have read about it)
and use the old key K-Meleon.HTML again.

@Jujuland
NSIS doesn't know if it is started by admin
or user. A script with admin detection will
help to stop the script comparing wrong keys:

File extensions didn't register because it used
Software/Classes in the wrong branch.
HKLM instead of HKCU.

new SetDefault.exe

SetDefault-2012-01-07.7z

Same result on Seven. Protocols are set, extensions are not set.

Please, send your source ...

>Same result on Seven. Protocols are set, extensions are not set.
That shouldn't happen if there is full access to registry,
but a missing delete of another PersistentHandler
is a possible reason.

I've added this:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/ieitprocurrentver/thread/a5544ebe-01b1-40b9-ae95-3b91579b0e4f

Does FF do the job on your Seven?
I've almost added 50% of similar values.

Try to find the missing keys
and I will add them.
Looks good on XP Pro and XP Home now.

>Please, send your source ...
I'm not finished with it.
(Currently unreadable.)

1) No persistentHandler

2) Don't want to use vbscript

3) FF does the trick, Seamonkey too, and I prefer to compare with Seamonkey which is nearest from K-Meleon.

4) No missing key, just a method to use to register the modifications to Seven.

5) Send it yet
