Cannot Associate Oxygen XML Developer plugin With a File Type on My Windows Computer

Problem

I cannot associate the Oxygen XML Developer plugin application with a file type on my Windows computer by right clicking a file in Windows Explorer, selecting Open WithChoose Program and browsing to the file oxygenDeveloper18.1. When I select the file oxygenDeveloper18.1 in the Windows file browser dialog box, the Oxygen XML Developer plugin application is not added to the list of applications in the Open With dialog box. What can I do?

Solution

The problem is due to some garbage Windows registry entries remained from versions of Oxygen XML Developer plugin older than version 9.0. Uninstall all your installed versions of Oxygen XML Developer plugin and run a registry cleaner application for cleaning these older entries. After that just reinstall your current version of Oxygen XML Developer plugin and try again to create the file association.
