Hi Carl94580345-0854,

Please check that you're following the association configuration file creation process outlined in this article:

You may be running into trouble because of the browser version in use by your end-users.

You can also try coping the .XML file under User\Preferences\File I set the file to be copied to C:\Windows and set the default association setting to reference the file locally. This has worked for me in the past.
