"Class not registered" error when adding files from context menu (Beta)

Hi everyone,

After installing the beta version (beta 21), every time I launched foobar2000 I would get prompted by Windows to allow the file associating executable to run. I had to disable that from the settings.

Now, if I try to queue a file using the context menu in File Explorer, I get a "Class not registered" error.

Is there a way to address this?

I finally managed to fix this issue.

I opened regedit, went to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, then to the foobar2000 entries like foobar2000.MP3, then to shell\open\command and removed the DelegateExecute entry. Same for shell\enqueue\command. After removing those entries, I finally do not get the error anymore and the command simply works.

Not sure why this was necessary but maybe it's a bug of some sort.
