BC does not register itself properly Win7/64 Ent

BitComet BitComet Bug Reports

I have been meaning to report this for a while, but I installed Azureus today, and it registered itself properly, so there’s no reason why BC can’t.

When I install BitComet under Win7/64 Enterprise SP1, it does not set up the necessary registry entries to identify itself as an installed program. I must go into the registry and insert these keys by hand into HKLM\Software\Classes\Applications.

(I do not know if this also affects Win7/32 or other versions of Win7/64.)

Without these entries, Win7 will not accept an association between BitComet and .torrent files, so will not become the default bittorrent client.

Just so that when the report goes to the team, it’s more complete: What is the status of UAC on your system?

Shot in the head and left by the road to bleed out. It’s the first thing I disable when I’m installing.
