This is a pesky one. I recently upgraded from Audition CS5.5 to Audition 6 and uninstalled CS5.5. Since I did that, however, the .sesx file association in my computer has been lost. When I try to reassign .sesx to Audition, the computer defaults to Adobe Acrobat to attempt to open an .sesx file, even when I specifically navigate to the Audition folder and indicate Audition as the default program to open .sesx.
I realize the first and most obvious step is to simply reinstall Audition CS6, but there were difficulties activating the software. I was upgrading just Audition out of the entire Creative Suite CS5.5 package, as it was the only software I NEEDED to upgrade (for some reason Audition CS5.5 caused me nothing but problems, but CS6 is infinitely more stable on my system, and none of the other CS6 software had features that justified a $500 upgrade). So I had to contact support and they had to give me a support code and all of these hoops had to be jumped through to install the new software. I'd much rather avoid having to do all of that again.
Is there a way to reassign the file association other than reinstalling? And while I'm at it, if I DO reinstall, will THAT even solve the problem?
