NetBeans 7.1 for PHP / PC / Windows 7 64-bit

I uninstalled my 7.0.1 and installed 7.1. However upon completion, I could no longer open my php files. Plus, I couldn't even associate NetBeans with this type any more.

Manually updated the regedit by searching "NetBeans 7.0.1" and replacing with "NetBeans 7.1", all started work as expected.

The entry is under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Applications/netbeans.exe/shell/open/command/(Default)

Should be a relatively quick fix. Hope it helps.

Fixed in changeset: /core-main/rev/b6554da1ea0b

Installer doesn't update file association in fact. But during uninstallation it removes HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Applications/netbeans.exe/shell/open/command/ registry key if exists - it fixes the problem with new association.
