    It’s quite straight-forward to do:

    1. Right-click the setup project in Solution Explorer and select View -> File Types from the context menu.
    2. Right-click the File Types on Target Machine node to add a new file type
    3. In the Properties window you may specify the properties of the file type: Enter the extension, a description and the command to open a file of this type.
