The script is installed. In folder: open_with.bat open_with_chrome.json open_with_firefox.json open_with_windows.py

I meant to reply to this earlier, sorry.

I can get that particular message when if the Open With registry entry doesn't exist. That may not be the only reason, but it's the only one I can think of.

There should be registry entry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\open_with which points to the open_with_firefox.json file. Perhaps the install step failed to add it.

The corresponding key for Chrome is at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\open_with.

Yes! This solved the problem! Thank you!

ziceptor commented 7 years ago

For me it is:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\open_with]
@="G:\\APPDATA\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Data\\OpenWith\\open_with_firefox.json"

For others, the path of the other.

Section "Mozilla" did not exist. Added manually.

Yeah I see the problem now, and wouldn't you know, the code causing your install to fail was totally unnecessary anyway.
