I have both CS 5.5 and CS 6 installed on a new Windows 10 20H2. CS 5.5 was installed first followed by CS6. Version CS6 opens by default I have several CS5.5 files, both InDesign and Illustrator that I like to edit and save as v5.5 since the mac the files are sometimes shared with has only v5.5. The problem is the when you right click and ‘Open with’ and choose more apps, find CS5.5 and select that, it still opens CS6. When I was on my Windows 7 PC, I had to set this in the registry but when I double clicked, CS5.5 opened and I could also right click and chose ‘open with’ both CS5.5 and CS6 would be listed and I could open in CS6 when needed. This does not work in Windows 10. Changing the registry key from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Shell\Open\Command\”C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\InDesign.exe” “%1″ to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Shell\Open\Command\”C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\InDesign.exe” “%1” opens CS5.5 now but right clicking and open with only shows CS5.5.
Is there a way to make the right click context menu work as Windows 7 did, being able to choose which version I want on the fly? Maybe a different registry entry needs to be adjusted? Apparently Windows 10 is not smart enough to work like the Mac does, there you can open the application version you want to use and after that, double click the file and it opens in whatever version is already running.
Thanks
