This error will occur generally if the registry entries for the valid application does not exist.
To resolve this:
• Look for entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts matching the type
• For each sub-key found, the program identifier and name are recorded (i.e. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.asp\OpenWithProgids\aspfile)
• For each of the sub-keys, the program identifier is search for in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (i.e. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aspfile)
• If there is a shell sub-key, then the 'shell\open\command' and 'shell\edit\command' values are used for launching the application. If only one is available, then it will be used for viewing and editing.
For an example of a key that works, check HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\shell\Open\command.
So, immediate solution user can choose viewer/editor in WDK Client Application, or to provide sub-keys in the Windows registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aspfile entry to indicate the shell/open/command and shell/edit/command values.
