Hi Mike,

Thanks for the help. But how do I tell InstallShield 3.5 to change the 
registry so that I can add %1 at the end of the command line? I tried to 
drag and paste the registry key from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the source to the 
destination in order to edit the key (as indicated in the InstallShield 3.5 
help), but that does not work. So I could not even try editing the key.  Is 
there another way?

Thanks for helping out.
