SOLVED: "How do you want to open this file" popup
« on: July 03, 2020, 05:48:35 am »
After installing Enterprise Architect, when I log in, several popups "How do you want to open this file"  appear.
It seems to be trying to open vbs files.


I need to know what is causing those popup "How do you want to open this file", cause I try to disable,
I don't want my users to see this.

I know they can click OK on each popup, but what is causing this ?? before installation i didn't have that, so the installation of EA cause it.

I'd guess your installation went wrong. Try to re-download and re-install. (I guess you're talking about V15.?)?

No, there shouldn't be any.

ok, i see what's wrong. My computers are in an Domain with Active Directory. VBS files that open at logon and cause the popup are login scripts for our users.

when i install EA, the vbs file association seems to be reset by EA. Therefore, Windows detects a change for the association of vbs files and asks to confirm. That’s why in the list of program “open With” there is Enterprise Architec Document Handler.

So the question, is it possible to modifiy de MSI with a MST file? So at the installation, EA will not modify the association of VBS files ?

I've never had that issue before (and I do use vbs files on the side)

I FOUND!!

I need to add this key to the registry after the installation:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts]
"Sparx.EA.vbs_.vbs"=dword:00000000

No more "How do you want to open this file" popup !!  :D
