I have a new issue that just started today in PixInsight.  When I went to open a saved process, instead of opening as usual, it tried to install it in PI, asking me if I wanted to close PI and reboot.  I asked for help on the PI forum and got this....

" i think we've seen this before - somehow windows associates PI files with the PI installer instead of with the PI application. i think there are some threads here about this, but i don't have them at hand.

as a first step, deleting the installer or maybe zipping it up and then re-associating the files with the PI application might help."

Well, I have no idea how to do this or find it.  Is it possible for someone to explain this to me in steps I can follow?

You have to de-install it and then re-install it again. Or, reset the Pixinsight installation (return to its default state) from inside the Pixinsight menu in Windows: Pixinsight - Reset Settings.

Thanks- I tried several things and what I discovered is that if I drag and drop (or copy) the saved process onto the open PI window, it opens properly.  It still fails by simply clicking on the saved process like I used to do.  I have no idea why but it is working now.

Just so everyone is aware, this problem is now being reported by others on the PI forum and CNs.  However, someone on PI found a solution (1.8.8-10: Double click .xisf looks for 1.8.8-6? | PixInsight Forum)
