Using Inno Setup to register multiple file associations to the same executable

I confess that I have not tried this:

[Registry]
Root: HKCR; SubKey: ".mwb"; ValueType: string; ValueData: "MeetingWorkBook"; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKCR; SubKey: "MeetingWorkBook"; ValueType: string; ValueData: "Meeting Workbook"; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKCR; SubKey: "MeetingWorkBook\Shell\Open\Command"; ValueType: string; ValueData: """xyz"" ""%1"""; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKCR; Subkey: "MeetingWorkBook\DefaultIcon"; ValueType: string; ValueData: "abc,0"; Flags: uninsdeletevalue

Root: HKCR; SubKey: ".srr"; ValueType: string; ValueData: "SoundRotaReport"; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKCR; SubKey: "SoundRotaReport"; ValueType: string; ValueData: "Sound Rota Report"; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKCR; SubKey: "SoundRotaReport\Shell\Open\Command"; ValueType: string; ValueData: """xyz"" ""%1"""; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKCR; Subkey: "SoundRotaReport\DefaultIcon"; ValueType: string; ValueData: "abc,1"; Flags: uninsdeletevalue

The code was created out of the box using Inno Script Studio.

What I would like confirmed in if it is acceptable to associate two different data files with the same executable? I ask this because my software has two internal editors.

Solution

  • Of course, it's perfectly normal.

    Any image viewer (.gif, .jpg, ...) or a video player (.avi, .mkv, ...) or a productivity application (.xls, .xlsx, ...) or a web browser (.html, .xhtml, ...) or an IDE (.cpp, .h, ...) do the same.
