I am attempting to follow this guide:

http://docs.wholetomato.com?W328
( How do I allow C/C++ with a different extension? )

But the key referred to in step:

quote:
Exit the IDE and use regedit to clone the following entry to a like entry that ends in your extension:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\10.0\\Languages\\File Extensions\\.cpp


Does not exist. I have attempted to create it, but VS just ignores it.

I have attempted a few other similar guides as well, but to no avail.

Anybody have any ideas?

Cheers!

Which OS are you using, and is it a 32bit or 64bit OS?

How many of these keys did you have to create? How close to this was your registry?

Thanks for the prod! As soon as you said '64bit' it reminded me about the 'Wow6432Node' which all the 32bit keys reside under on a 64bit machine (including mine).

The solution is to follow the steps above, except use the key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\10.0\\Languages\\File Extensions\\.cpp' instead.

It works now!

Cheers!
