File Extensions View
InstallShield 2020 Express Edition
File extensions enable you to link a certain type of file to your product. When that file is double-clicked, your product is launched, and your product opens that file. When you open a text (.txt) file, you are actually sending a message to the operating system, telling it to launch Notepad so that you can view the contents of that text file. If you want to provide similar functionality for your product and its files, you can create a file extension association.
For details about each of the settings that you can configure for a file association, see File Extension Settings.
