I am developing an application in W7.
My application is the default app for TIF files. That means our users can set the app as the default application to open the .tif extension.
The problem is, that I have multiple app-versions (multiple exes) with the same name. When right clicking a tif file and selecting a default open application it does not update the path to it. I think it remembers the exe name from my previous version and completely ignores the fact, that it actually is a new exe. After doing this, Windows will still open my .tif with the old exe.
I'll accept your answer if you can show me a way to force Windows to use my new exe instead of the old one. (Renaming the new exe is not an option)
EDIT:
The application is NOT installed on any OS. It is executed directly on a network path. The old versions were just renamed and are located right next to the current version. The current version always has the same name. I will make the app installable. But right now it is not.
