Solution

  • You need to create the following registry keys, perhaps during installation

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.xyz] @="dawid.xyz.1.0"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.xyz\OpenWithProgids] "dawid.xyz.1.0"=""

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dawid.xyz.1.0] @="Description of the extension"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dawid.xyz.1.0\DefaultIcon] @="valid location of icon"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\atmelstudio.objproj.6.1\shell\open\command] @="[my_program_in_c#"
