[archive] Associating ACU extension with runtime

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 18 August 2008]

Hello
In Windows XP Folder Options->File Types I cannot associate the ACU extension with wrun32.exe. I browse to wrun32.exe and click OK, but the ACU extension ends up being associated with Adobe Reader. Has anyone else had problems of this kind? Thanks.

Yeah, I seemed to have some sort of problem with that too.

However, this worked.
Double clicked the .acu file, XP then asked about opening it.
I browsed to wrun32 and choose that. But I also checked the "Always associate.........."

I tried that too and it still didn't work

You can do it manually:

My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Options... -> File Types -> (Select or create acu extension) -> Advanced -> (Actions:) New -> (Action:) Open, (Application used to perform action:) C:\\Acucorp\\Acucbl720\\AcuGT\\bin\\wrun32.exe %1 -> OK -> OK -> OK

or use some VB code (a sample program attached)
