Sometimes due to some damage in the registry , clicking on an executable file (.exe) opens VLC media player instead of Windows Installer .

This problem can be easily fixed using a simple registry patch (for Windows Vista)

Registry patch for .exe file association

>> Unzip the file .
>> Double the extracted .reg file
>> A dialog box asking “Do you wish to continue” appears . Click yes .

Cheers . You are Done .
