Question

Registered my program according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914.aspx.

The association seems to be working, because if I enter my custom url in a browser, it asks for permission to use my program. however, whenever the program is started through url, it terminates, producing the standard “send microsoft an error report” dialog. When I start it from the command line, using the exact same arguments (quadruple-checked of course) as chrome and ie are passing, it works perfectly fine.

The error signature is as follows (hand copied, the text field in the error reporting window doesn’t let you copy -.-‘)

EventType: clr20r3 P1: docreg2.exe P2: 1.0.0.0 P3: 4e16fb9b
P4: mscorlib P5 2.0.0.0 P6 4d8c190a P7: 344a P8: d8
P9: system.io.filenotfoundexception

I wonder what’s going on…

Answer 1

Check the starting directory of the program in each case.
