  • Changed the RockSim to (.rkt) file association code on Windows. The file association registry entries are now written to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. This was done to get around some Windows Vista security issues. In a nutshell this means that non-administrator users will have the correct associations created when RockSim starts...


At least this part of the update seems to work on my Vista machine. It now completes the launch of the program before trying to open the RKT file.

When the upgrade offers me the option of a "full" download, I take it and create a new folder to install it into. That leaves the old installation as-is. Then I can rename all of the stock CSV files, and transfer my operational files into the DATA folder from the old installation. That way, if anything goes wrong with the upgrade, the old version is still there to work with.
