Re: visual studio setup project gone horribly wrong

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Okay, I just checked. I don't know what I was thinking. I associated my
program with .exe extension. Luckily, I was able to get into visual
studio and right click on the setup project and did an uninstall.

stupid me. problem solved.

Hi,

I was testing out a simple project and I did a "setup" project for my
simple application.

After installed the application, everything went horribly wrong. All my
other applications executable has been "hijacked". Whenever I click any
program, my simple application got launched.

I can't even click "add/remove" program (which launch my application
again!). I tried to run "regedit", same thing. I tried to run "cmd",
same thing, executed my little application.

What went wrong???? I can't execute my visual stuido 2005 either now.

anybody had similar experience?
