Found out why VLC crashes on file assoc:
In XP 64, it tries to access HKCU\classes\wow6432node, when it should access classes directly. Bug with WoW compatibility layer. Should be fixed.

Re: File assoc in VLC
If you mean the file association dialog in Preferences..., it is broken.

Re: File assoc in VLC
Yeah, the registry key issue is causing that problem, maybe some workaround for the registry key issue is a good idea?
Re: File assoc in VLC
It would need complete overhaul.
