When I used the installed version, I could open a database file and the program would come up.

Now, with the portable version, I get this unfriendly error: "?.sndb is not a valid Win32 application," on files that the program, otherwise, opens normally. Do you know how windows decides such things, or how I can make this work again?

Comments

right-click on the .sndb file and select open with...
Select Choose program (if given the choice)
Browse to the sqlnotes.exe file
Check Always use the selected program

I'll add a menu item to register the .sndb extension even when using the portable version

I did this in two ways and even looked to see that the extension existed in the registry... it did. To no avail. I still get the error.

At first the exe was not added to the program list, ie. when I went back to open with, it was not there.

Now the program is there, but the file still gets the error.

have you uninstalled the installed version - if not - probably best to - (if you are working with the portable version)

Yes, I did that too! It must be something a little more insidious.
