    Represents a file extension association that the self-extractor will register with Windows

    Remarks

    Registering a file extension allows Windows to recognize files that have a specific file extension. Windows will be able to show a description of the files ending with a given extension (in Windows Explorer, for example) and execute an application whenever that type of file is opened. Thus, when specifying each file extension to be registered, you must provide a description and an associated application. The associated application must be able to open the files ending with that extension.

    Each extension to register consists of the extension (do not include the . character), the path + filename of the associated application and the extension's description.

    The current EXE extension association should not be modified. Changing this association can prevent applications from running properly.
