• What operating system are you using? Windows 10
• What version of Node.js is on your system? None

I tried to use your demo of custom protocols because it's supposed to be supported on OSX and Windows :

I made some tests and it works perfectly on OSX, the error box is popping, telling me what URI I clicked on. But on Windows, the error box doesn't appear, only the application is popping.

As far as I understand :

• the error box is displayed because app.on('open-url') is only available on macOS
• the application is displayed on Windows thanks to `

My point is it possible to implement a way to show the error box on Windows ?

You might want to check PR #270 as well.

Hi @jbleuzen, I want to make sure I understand which part of this demo fails. I'm running on Windows 10 as well. When I click the "View Demo" button, it launches my default browser to a page that looks like...

When I click that button, I get the following error dialog:

That looks like a bug to me. We must not be keeping the path to the application in the registry up to date. What exactly happens in your situation?

@Haacked That isn't a bug I don't think, that is you running from source right? If you use the packaged version this issue shouldn't occur as the default_app is not packaged.

Perhaps we need to add a note indicating this?

@Haacked The thing that fail in the demo is that I expect to see a similar popup on Windows :

When launching application in dev, I get the browser opening the green page but when I click on the link electron-api-demos://open the windows application get focus and that's all... I don't get the previous popup with the url

Maybe you should just change the scenario to only work on OSX… Or there is a way to implement the catching of the url and display the popup with the right value ?

A note right inside of that demo is also required to stop this bug reports popping out.
