    <p>I have an application that is called in a command line fashion. I wish to associate a protocol with it, let's call that protocol <code>runapp</code>. <code>runapp</code> will call <code>runapp.exe</code>.</p> <p>I plan to have this configured through the Registry portion of the application Deployment Project. I started by looking at other protocols, specifically <code>mailto</code>. I noticed that I need the following:</p> <ul> <li>a new key under <code>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT</code> called <code>runapp</code></li> <li>a new series of keys to create <code>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\runapp\shell\open\command</code></li> <li>under the <code>runapp</code> key, I will add two strings, <code>(Default)</code> with value <code>URL:runapp protocol</code> and a second string <code>URL Protocol</code> and no value</li> <li>also under the <code>command</code> key, I need to add one string, <code>(Default)</code> with value <code>"C:\path\runapp.exe" "%1"</code></li> </ul> <p>I set all these up just fine. When I actually run the installer, though, before my <code>(Default)</code> strings, there is already another valueless <code>(Default)</code> string. So it looks like I am settings a <code>(Default)</code> string in the wrong way. What's the right way?</p> <p>Secondly, I manually hacked this incorrect key in regedit after backing everything up. Now, with my keys looking very much like <code>mailto</code>'s, I finally stop getting the "No program found" error, but my application actually doesn't seem to execute at all.</p> <p>Any thoughts on how to correctly set <code>(Default)</code> strings and further troubleshoot protocol issues? Thanks.</p>

    1. COAre you actually using "(Default)" as the value name? If so, that is probably your problem.

    2. COBut you can't just leave it blank either. If you don't set it it becomes `New Value #N`. So how then can I mimic the setting of a string called `(Default)`?

    3. COI have not done an install project in a while, but I know in code with RegSetValueEx(), you use NULL or "" to set the default value.
