File Type Associations and ProgID

Hi, 

I'm forcing a pdf file association with DEM 2106  to Acrobat Reader DC (64bit) but the program still complains not to be the default app for PDFs.
It seems to me that DEM is lacking the possibility to specify ProgID for FTA (like Citrix Workspace Environment Manager does) and Acrobat (and maybe others) are checking this specific flag.

Do you know any workaround?

Regards

Giuseppe

Hi @giusepperavasio,

There's no straightforward to do that (yet) in the Management Console, but with a bit of manual XML editing it can be done. That example is for protocol associations, but the same approach works for FTAs.
