Description
Steps to reproduce:
- create a new windows user in windows 10 x64, make it non admin
- try to install WinMerge-2.16.46-x64-Setup.exe
- admin elevation window shows up, enter admin pwd and install winmerge
- right click on text file in explorer, select winmerge
Expected behavior: winmerge must run
Actual behavior: nothing happens
I have traced this in process monitor:
The problem can be fixed by changing the reg key value from "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" to "C:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe". Therefore I think there is a bug in installation sequence.
