[wpkg-users] 7-Zip install/file associations

[Gary Richards]

Hi,

I've recently started playing with wpkg and i've been testing packages deploy 
properly to a test machine. So far i've had a number of them install fine basing 
the entries in package.xml on what's available in the silent installers section 
of the wpkg wiki, however, i've just tried 7-Zip and although it's seems to have 
silently installed fine, by default none of the expected file associations were 
setup. Is this normal behaviour for this package? If so does anyone have a 
simple way to setup the required associations?

I do have a list of the registry entries added by the program when i've executed 
7-Zip and selected the files that I want 7-Zip to associate with. So I guess I 
could simply merge a registry file after the install or something. I just 
wondered if anyone had any ideas on doing this an easier way before I start 
creating registry files and such.

On another note, after creating the file associations, the icons for the files 
don't change from the 'unknown file' icon. Is this normal behaviour too? I've 
not yet installed 7-Zip manually from the original executable, so i'm not sure 
what the installer in manual mode is capable of.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
