There are a number of answers already having to do with creating new file associations. I don't want a new file association per se. My app can open PDF files. All I want to do is configure my installer such that, after installation, when a user right-clicks a PDF file, my app will show up in the "Open with..." list in the popup that appears. My app certainly should not be the default program for PDF. Is there a way to do this with Inno Setup?

    Have a look at this webpage https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-open-with-notepad-to-the-context-menu-for-all-files/ and see if you can follow thos einstructions manually. If you can then just replicate the registry key calls in Inno Setup. – Andrew Truckle Jun 23 '18 at 12:54
  • @AndrewTruckle That looks like it should work. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks. – vacuumhead Jun 23 '18 at 23:37
  • @AndrewTruckle That does work as advertised, but it's a much broader scope than I'm looking for. It applies to all files, not just .pdf files. I guess what I'm really looking for is how to edit the Registry to add my app to the "Open with..." list for .pdf files. Actually, I did add it to that list, but it isn't enough. I seem to have missed a step. – vacuumhead Jun 27 '18 at 23:03
  • Maybe ask on the power user site. Tackle it from that angle. – Andrew Truckle Jun 28 '18 at 05:37
  • @vacuumhead How to register for a specific file type is shown in my answer to the duplicate question. – Martin Prikryl Jun 28 '18 at 10:59
