KB27 ERROR: No application is associated with the specified file for this operation
  • Problem
    An "Error opening [FILENAME] No application is associated with the specified file for this operation is displayed" is displayed when trying to run a file.
  • Reason
    The text in the button's [Target] is not an executable file(ie. exe, com, cmd, bat) and the "Run as administrator" option is checked.
  • Solution
    Specify the executable to run in the button's [Target] field and use the [Arguments] field to specify the file to be opened.

    Example:
    Target: C:\Windows\System32\mspaint.exe
    Arguments: D:\myimage.jpg
