Hi Dale.

 

Did you resolve this issue. I am experiencing the same problem, wondering if maybe there is a way to exclude file associations from USMT capture

 

thanks

Hi Mo,

I ended up getting a response from MS.

 

  1. Log on one Windows 1703 client.
  2. Run regedit.exe, locate key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\FileAssociations\UpgradeChoice (if the key does not exist, create one with the name.)
  3. Create a DWORD value named AppUpgradeVersion, set it to 2.
  4. Migrate a user to this client.

I still had issues with associating PDFs with Adobe Reader, but MS came back and said that it was an adobe issue.
