Custom URL Protocol for Invoking Application: What if the key is not found in registry?

[Akhil Nair]

Hello,

I have been trying to invoke an application from browser using Custom URI Scheme. This article helped me how to set it up. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/aa767914.

What if I delete the key in registry manually and ask the browser to invoke the application. In this case, the browser won't be able to invoke the application. Here how can I notify the browser or user that the key is not found in registry. Any help would be appreciated. 

Thank you.

Hi Akhil,

I don't see how this is even remotely connected to angular ;)

There is no clean solution AFAIK, however, you can try this helper library. It's not perfect, but the most robust solution I'm aware off.
