I just recently installed Finale 27. I also am experiencing the situation where Finale for Windows is not an option when I try to make ".MUSX" files open with Finale for Windows. I see from an earlier post that a change to the Registry in Windows 10 was helpful. If that is the response, please provide detailed instructions.
I am using Windows 10, build19044.1826
My apologies regarding the missing information. (I used to be in computer support, so I know how frustrating it can be to not have all of the data. Again, my apologies.)
I am using the latest version of Windows 10 (build 19044.1826) and am on a 64-bit computer. I recently (about a week ago) installed Finale 27.2.0.144.
Regarding my problem, I am double-clicking on a ".musx" file in Window 10's "File Explorer". When I do that, my older version of Finale (Finale 2000) loads and I immediately receive a message box that starts with "invalid file type". (To remediate that problem I have attempted to change the "Default App" for file types of ".musx" to "Finale for Windows". However, I am unable to do that because "Finale for Windows" is not available to choose. And if I take it a step further and select "Finale for Windows" directly, the system will, instead use Finale 2000. And when I take the next step and try to uninstall Finale 2000 I am unable to do that, because I cannot seem to find ANY way to uninstall Finale 2000.)
(Note that if I first open Finale 27 select a file, that file successfully opens.)
I am looking to be able to open a folder in Window's File Explorer and double-click on a ".musx" file to get it to open in Finale for Windows.
