msi Installer loads instead of Application

[Smiler.]

I have just installed an updated application to both PC & Laptop, and when I double-click a relevant file, the msi Install programme loads. I uninstalled the previous version, then installed the new version.

I uninstalled the current version, did a registry clean, then re-installed the new version. No dice.

In the registry under 'Open With', was this key:

Command (and the content is) PBwru6s.99o0a&qBXbjAlwaysInstall>='QZ[iNpJ@+NNUONb,c0 "%1"


Does this look iffy? Computers eh!

Does look a bit odd...

Whack the system with Spybot and co.

Is this a well known application, a lesser known application or something you've built yourself?

I've seen this with apps I've built as it seems that the MSI creator (in VS 2005) gets it's knickers in a twist.

It's a specialist app. I've sorted the problem now. The download exe unzipped files/folders to the temp folder, did the install then deleted them. I paused the install & copied the files/folders, then ran the install from the exe in one of them.

When I double-clicked, it started the install again (as the original files/folders were still on the HDD), but then stopped & loaded the app. When I double click now, it loads the app.
