It seems to have messed up the file associations up of windows. How can I restore this. It seems like when I chose the option in the program for file asscotiations it somehow messed up windows file assocations. Help I am in serious trouble.

InstallAWARE does not mess with any kind of System Associations. IT has it's own file types, *.mia and *.mpr which are associated correctly.

Thank you for reply. Windows will not run any exe files. It for some reason wants to start the programs with a mzp association. It happened after I set the associations in the installware program. This program has affected my windows installation and I cannot even restore. The best bet is I reformat my hd, but I first want to see if anyone can help me.

Here is the screen attached which it happened in. I entered exe in the top dialog and my application in the bottom. As soon as I hit continue it changed the whole system asscosiations and wants to run exe programs with a mzp ext.

Try creating a new installer and just set the file extensions back the way they were.
