CC 16 and 17 installed successfully except Bridge CC does not appear in the "open with" list. Bridge CS 6 is still listed. (Windows 7, current updates).

I have searched the registry and most entries point to CC 17, a couple still point to CS 6.

I want to leave CS6 installed but have access to CC 17 versions.

What needs changing, and where?

Please reread my post of Dec 31.

Yes, Bridge is a file browser. That does not mean that you cant open it to point to a specific file/folder.

Why should you have to open Bridge, then navigate to a specific folder when you are already looking at the folder in a file manager?

"Open with" displays the file in its folder, exactly as it is supposed to do. It does not "open" the file for editing (it cant!), it opens it for viewing.

Richard, Please go to the install directory of Bridge CC 2017 and Find a file named Bridge.exe, then rename that file from Bridge.exe to Bridge CC 2017.exe

Let me know if it works.

Not sure I understand the question. You want Photoshop (or Illustrator, etc) to open your files, not Bridge.

Bridge is only a browser...

No.

"Open with" is a list of apps (right click on file). Not the same as the default association for a file.

PS, LR, I etc. all installed with correct entries in the "open with" list for CC17.

Bridge did not, it still shows CS6. I need to change this to CC 17.

List:

Bridge CS6

PS CC17

AI CC17 etc.....

Richard,

Sorry but I still don't understand.

If I right click on (say a *tif) file I get this list:

Bridge is not in that list which makes sense to me. All those listed programs can open my file but not Bridge as Bridge can't "open" files; it can browse a folder but cannot open files... e.g. Bridge cannot open a RAW file; what it does is launch Camera Raw which in turn can indeed open the file.
