When using the following definition for an Open With dialog 

<ProgId Id="GSA.10.1.Text.document" Description="GSA document (ASCII)" Advertise="no" >
          <Extension Id="GWA" >
            <Verb Id="open" Command="Open with GSA 10.1" Argument='"%1"' Target="[TARGETDIR_Program_Files_Oasys_GSA_10.1]Gsa.exe" />
          </Extension>
</ProgId>

I'm expecting the Open With dialog to display GSA 10.1 but instead displays GSA in the right click menu

enter image description here

And GSA 10 after selecting Open With...

open with dialog with period

If I change the definition to be 10-1 the first dialog looks better

<ProgId Id="GSA.10.1.Text.document" Description="GSA document (ASCII)" Advertise="no" >
          <Extension Id="GWA" >
            <Verb Id="open" Command="Open with GSA 10.1" Argument='"%1"' Target="[TARGETDIR_Program_Files_Oasys_GSA_10.1]Gsa.exe" />
          </Extension>
</ProgId>

enter image description here

But still get the same issue when selecting Open With...

I'm trying to get GSA 10.1 to display in both menus and I'm having problems finding any documentation about what would be a valid name to display correctly.

  • Did you check the actual source code for this? That name might be generating from the exe code? – Stein Åsmul Apr 14 '20 at 21:51
  • Quick link for you: [Application Registration](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/app-registration) and one more: [Where does Windows store its “Open With” settings?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3924753/where-does-windows-store-its-open-with-settings). – Stein Åsmul Apr 15 '20 at 03:44
  • @SteinÅsmul The first menu is populated by the verb and the second is populated by the FileDescription in the exe file which I managed to fix. I suppose I can live with the - in the first display – Peter Grainger Apr 16 '20 at 08:57
