I am trying to support a custom file extension with my flutter desktop app.
I did not find anything on that and as I am from mobile development I have no idea how to do that for MacOS and Windows (Linux soon as it reaches stable).
Can you help me?

I actually want to open installed AutoCad desktop application on the click of a button present in my flutter web application.
I searched for this on internet but couldn't find any answer.
1. Is there any way to open installed application on windows or mac from a flutter web on click of a button?
2. Is there any package available?
3. Do I need to right any native code?
Get the path of the software like.. C:\Program Files\Autocad\... then use url_launcher to open the file on the click of the button.. but as per the documentation states, you should check if the file exists or not before opening it

As you can see at the bottom right corner, you don't have an internet connection and thus, it can't reach github.com, which it seemingly needs to run.
Download a fresh install of flutter sdk and follow the necessary steps from here.. https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/windows
Be sure to register the path in the environmental variables
Be sure to install git
Be sure you are connected to the internet along the process

Step 4: Now install Dart in Visual Studio Code

Step 5: Now we have successfully added Flutter and Dart to the Visual studio code, now let’s check if flutter is installed or not. For this we will open a new terminal in Visual Studio Code and type the following “flutter –version”, if everything is fine then it will normally show the version of the installed flutter.

Any help? Especially for the desktop and web .. The iphone emulator is probably a setting.

Flutter for desktop is in very early stages, as described on the Flutter wiki; it won't work out of the box. If you want to experiment with it, you'll need to manually add desktop support to your project.
Similarly, Flutter for web is a technical preview that requires extra setup to try out.
We use a CAB file through a webpage to deploy our mobile application to our customers. Now with the new Windows Mobile 6.5 devices, the cab file is downloaded as a .tsk file (when using the new Internet Explorer). Naturally the installation fails to install the application as a theme.
If the file is downloaded in Opera, or you change the file extension back to cab. The installation process completes. But the application can launch due to Missing Method Exceptions.
Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone know if there is a workaround for it?
We are currently builing the CAB using a vdproj in visual studio and signing it using CabWiz. Were using the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK.
This is an issue with a specific version of the HTC Touch 2 ROM.
Apparentlly this is fixed with an upgrade of the mobile.
