Please backup the registry if you are worried about anything, but it doesn't really overwrite any keys that should break anything.Welcome to the Chocolatey Community Package Repository!

I figure this might help people that are trying to deploy a fix on their client's machines.įYI This is a clean copy from a properly upgraded Foxit install. I've also uploaded a copy of fixed Foxit classes for the Registry, so icons and preview handlers can be fixed (none of these were updated on the affected machines that had received the update). Hope this helps to find the cause of the issue.Ĭode: ftype FoxitPDFReader=C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Reader\FoxitPDFReader.exe "%1"įtype FoxitReader=C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Reader\FoxitPDFReader.exe "%1"įtype FoxitReader.CCPDFDoc=C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Reader\FoxitPDFReader.exe "%1"įtype FoxitReader.Document=C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Reader\FoxitPDFReader.exe "%1"įtype FoxitReader.FDFDoc=C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Reader\FoxitPDFReader.exe "%1"įtype FoxitReader.PPDF=C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Reader\FoxitPDFReader.exe "%1"įtype FoxitReader.XDPDoc=C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Reader\FoxitPDFReader.exe "%1"įtype FoxitReader.XFDFDoc=C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Reader\FoxitPDFReader.exe "%1"This would update the ftypes. It should have made sure Foxit was the default before updating the association. The updater changed the association for these users as well.

Some of our users use Adobe PDF Reader or Acrobat as their default, and have this as an alternative. Regardless, it is also bad practice to update associations without checking if Foxit is not the default. Code: FoxitReader.Document="C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\FOXIT SOFTWARE\FOXIT READER\FOXITREADER.EXE" "%1"įoxitReader.FDFDoc="C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\FOXIT SOFTWARE\FOXIT READER\FOXITREADER.EXE" "%1"įoxitReader.PPDF="C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\FOXIT SOFTWARE\FOXIT READER\FOXITREADER.EXE" "%1"įoxitReader.XDPDoc="C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\FOXIT SOFTWARE\FOXIT READER\FOXITREADER.EXE" "%1"įoxitReader.XFDFDoc="C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\FOXIT SOFTWARE\FOXIT READER\FOXITREADER.EXE" "%1"I should mention that the update forced the broken association even if the user had another PDF viewer as a default, which means that these may be hardcoded in the installer somewhere.
