I asked precisely the same question with LR 3.6 on

Dec 26, 2010 11:17 AM

 

That was on my previous computer with Win XP.

Now with Windows 7, on a completely new workstation I have exactly the same issue: When I start LR and select the catalog, everything works as usual. But when I double click on the *.lrcat file, or select one in windows the following happens: Lightroom tries to install itself! !!!!

When I click on cancel, an error 1706 appears, "no valid source could be be foundfor product LR 4.1 64bit, the windows installer cannot proceed."

To go ahead of an obvious question: the file type lrcat seem to be associated with the 64 bit Lightroom:

Has someone a clue what might be happening? I checken what I know about file type assiciations, everything seem as usual pointing by the lightroom.exe binary.

    Thomas,

     

    It works OK for me on Win 7.

     

    When you right click on your catalogue, what do you see?

    Is the default action also Open in Lightroom?

    Thomas,

     

    That might be it. I've see other places (can't remember where right now) that LR was sensitive to being installed in a non-standard location.
