Unable to open .xdsl files with new GeNIe version

Post by hemasadhasivam »

Hello,

I was using GeNIe 2.4 previously. I have removed the older version and installed 2.5.

I usually open the .xdsl files by double-clicking on it which was possible with the previous GeNIe version. But, the updated version shows an error when I try to open the .xdsl files just by double-clicking. Whereas if it is added into GeNIe through "drag-and-drop or open files" options, there are no issues. Is this an intended behavior?

It seems that QGeNIe (which opens .qdsl file) took over the .xdsl extension in Windows registry - note that the icon for your networks is green/yellow/red instead of blue/red/green.

It is not an expected behavior and we can't reproduce it. Can you uninstall GeNIe using Windows Add/Remove programs functionality and install it again?

I have removed the app through the Windows Add/Remove program and re-installed it.

This seems to have solved the problem. Now the icons are in blue/red/green colors and I am able to open by double-clicking the icon directly.

Thank you.
