It is not possible to associate files any longer during installation and when I un-installed my previous version it disassociated SQL Navigator with the files that it was set to open with. How can I associate these again?
Due to the use of the new Quest Installer, the associate files option is not able to be included in the installation process.

2) Click on the File Types tab
