...and the weird stuff continues since I rebuilt the SSD for my cab.

 

All of my VP10 tables files have the VP9 logo on them. So if I click on a VP10 table, the table wont open because its linked to the "always open with" VP9 executable.

 

BUT when I try to change the "always open with..." for my VP10 tables files with the VP10 executable, I am not given the VP10 option in this window:

The VP10 icon (.exe) does not appear in the recommended or other field for me to choose. And if I select browse and browse to and select the VP10 executable, the VP10 tables STILL wont link or open. I can select the VP10 executable from C: Visual Pinball\  but the connection is not taking place and the VP10 tables remain linked to the VP9 executable.

 

I simply cant force the VP10 tables to always open with the VP10 executable and the only way I can open VP10 tables at all, is through the editor. This is a major PITA at the moment.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks

Just checking the obvious, your VP10 EXE isn't blocked as coming from another computer is it?  I have seen the behaviour you describe when using the Browse option not showing the EXE if it hasn't been unblocked.

I think I got it fixed. Took some registry fixing with this:
https://defaultprogramseditor.com/

 

Seemed to work very nicely to get link the .VPX files to Visual PinballX.exe

I just dont understand how the default configs got so jacked up.
