How Can I Control how a .erwin File is Opened When Double Clicked?

Answer: To select the program a .erwin file is opened with....

1-Right click on a .erwin file and select "Open with..."

2- In most cases, "erwin Application" will appear and can be selected

3- If not, chose "More apps", then scroll down to "Look for another app on this PC"

(Optionally select "Always use this app to open .erwin files")

4- In the resulting window, navigate to the install location for Data Modeler, by default "C:\Program Files\erwin\Data Modeler r9\"

5- Select "erwin.exe"

If any issues persist the registry can also be validated...

1-Open "Registry Editor" and check under the path....

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\erwin Model\shell\Open\command

2- The "(Default)" entry should match the file path to erwin.exe entered previously. For example...

"C:\Program Files\erwin\Data Modeler r9\erwin.exe" "%1"
