Can't select Bridge as the default program for opening Nikon RAW files on Windows 7

Question

My problem is that I can't select Bridge as the default program for opening Nikon RAW files on Windows 7. When I try to by either right clicking a file and choosing open with -> choose default program or via the control panel, I get to the window where I can choose the program from a list of reccomended ones or search the computer for a custom program. Since Brigde is not on the list, I search for its file path and then choose the bridge.exe but it doesn't change anything, Bridge doesn't even appear in the list of chooseable programs and so I am unable to choose it.

Is there any fix for this problem? before Bridge CC (2015) I never had this problem.

Sincerely,

Niko Supplieth

I tried this and unfortunately this failed, since it only is another way to open the window where I am unable to select Bridge.exe

Please go to this location C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CC (2015) and look for Bridge.exe, Rename the Bridge.exe file to

Bridge CC 2015.exe

Then Right-click on a raw file and Choose Properties.

In the General Tab, You will see "Opens With", Click on Change and choose bridge cc 2015 then click OK.
