Non advertised filetypes

Question

Hello, When I create an msi using VS2010, the shortcut and filetypes are all getting created as advertised. I am able to disable advertise property for shortcuts by setting DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS. However, the filetype is still advertised. How can i disable advertise for file types?

Thanks, SAN

This is one of the many reasons that Microsoft has announced that VDPROJ is being retired.

The only way to get what you want here is to write a bunch of postbuild processing of the resultant MSI to tweak it into what you want. However I suggest you instead look at InstallShield or WiX instead.
