Hello there,

Using SupportedTypes seems more convenient.

<RegistryValue Root="HKLM"  
                 Key="SOFTWARE\Classes\ConsoleApplication11.MyProgId"  
                 Name="FriendlyTypeName"  
                 Value="ConsoleApplication11 ProgID"  
                 Type="string" />  
  <ProgId Id="ConsoleApplication11.MyProgId"  
        Description="ConsoleApplication11 MyProgId"  
        Advertise="yes">  
    <Extension Id="xyz">  
      <Verb Id="open"  
            Command="Open"  
            Argument="&quot;%1&quot;"/>  
    </Extension>  
  </ProgId>  
  
   
  <RegistryValue Root="HKLM"  
                 Key="SOFTWARE\Classes\.xyz\OpenWithProgids"  
                 Name="ConsoleApplication11.MyProgId"  
                 Value=""  
                 Type="string" />
