Can you be more specific about the error?

You say your association is "fine", but it obviously isn't.

These are the registry keys that should be of interest (for per-machine install):

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.sav]
@="My.ProgID"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\My.ProgID\shell\Open\command]
@="Non-advertised clear text command line"
"command"=Illegible advertising garbage

You can aslo use the following commands from a command prompt for trouble-shooting:

Assoc .sav (returns associated ProgID)

Ftype My.ProgId (returns non-advertised commandline for given ProgID)

What were the contents of the registry keys I asked about?

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.sav]
@="??????"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\My.ProgID\shell\Open\command]
"command"=??????

What happens if you delete some registry keys as follows:

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.sav]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\My.ProgID]

And then repair your application from the control panel?

Btw, do you have the following key in your registry?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.sav]

classes root\sav has
spss.datadoc no valve
shellnew no vale

i search the entire registry and no entry for [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\My.ProgID\shell\Open\command]
"command"=??????
i also do have a current user classes\.sav key
if i delete the .sav key from classes root i get the same error

which is
the action is only vaild for products that are currently installed
thanks

You don't need to search the registry since I'm giving you the exact path:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\spss.datadoc\shell\Open\command]
"command"=?

Is the key there?

Try deleting the user file association:

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.sav]

What happens then?

i also do have a current user classes\.sav key

Didn't you type the above sentence in an earlier post?

Try uninstalling your package, then reinstalling it using the following command line:

Msiexec /i whateveryourmsiiscalled.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qb

If it still doesn't work, create a new local user and try running the application as that user.

If it still doesn't work, try the same thing on another (clean) PC.
