I've been developing a game which sends data via emails. The files have a particular suffix which I associate with the app during Setup. The recipient is supposed to be able to double-click on the file to lauch the app.
When I save the file from Outlook 2003 to My Documents, and double-click on it from there, it works fine. When I click on the attachment in Eudora, it works fine. I know that Eudora stores attachments as normal files in an attach folder, though, so I'd expect it to.
When I double-click on the attachment in Outlook 2003, it doesn't work - I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." exception. My logfile shows the attachment is 'located' here: Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK1FC\Turn (5).bships but the loading routine fails. When I look, OLK1FC doesn't exist as a folder (or a file) under Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files.
Can anyone explain what's going on? More to the point, can anyone explain how I can fix it?
