Build fails when specifying several extensions with same ProgId in File Associations

[Philippe ALLAIN]

Using version MSI-Factory 2.2 (but was the same with the previous one).

1 - Create any MSI-Factory project to install a small (even single file) application.
2 - Display the properties of the exec file, Registration tab.
3 - Edit the File Associations
4 - Add a first extension, for example ext1
5 - Create a new Associated ProgID, for example MyProg.image
6 - Add a verb, keep the default values for simplicity
7 - Add a second extension, for example ext2
8 - Select MyProg.image as Associated ProgId
9 - Add a verb, keep the default values for simplicity
10 - Close dialog windows and build.
Build fails. Last line in log window are:

The build does not fail if you declare a different ProdID for each extension you want.

Hello,

Don't create a ProgID and do not associate the ProgID with the extension. Then rebuild and check if you still get the error.
From what I see, if you use a ProgID, you need to specify different verbs - such as "open" and "print" or "edit".
