Elden · June 15, 2020, 6:21am

The following will demonstrate how to map IML and Glint file extension to Elixir Interactive.

Note that this information is only valid for version 7.0.1 and below.

From version 7.1 onwards, the file association is automatically done during the installation.

Create a registration entry file
(Information regarding the creation of registration entry file can be found in Microsoft Support website)
Enter include the following line to specify the directory of Elixir Report Interactive.exe :

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\applications\Elixir Report Interactive.exe\shell\open\command]
@=""\bin\Elixir Report Interactive.exe" “%1"”
To associate the IML and Glint file with Elixir Report Interactive.exe, enter the following (change accordingly for IML format) :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.glint]
“Application”=“Elixir Report Interactive.exe”

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.glint\OpenWithList]
“a”=“javaw.exe”
“MRUList”=“ba”
“b”=“Elixir Report Interactive.exe”
After all the necessary values are added into the registration entry file, save the file and close it.
Go to the directory where the registration file is placed. Double-click on the registration entry file.
User will be prompted for confirmation of adding the information to the registry. If the confirmation is successful, either Elixir Report Interactive will be one of the options when the user chooses “Open With …” option or the user is now able to double-click on any file with Glint or IML extension from Window Explorer and view using Elixir Report Interactive.
