I think I may have found out what is going on, and a possible work around.
After searching through the area::discussions forum it seems that the problem lies in how the program has been developed, but no one will admit to it.
There are icons for the program, but they are stored in a 3ds program file that does not associate with the .exe program.
So you have to do a side by side file association.
See the ninth post down by Revel:
Area :: Discussions
I tried looking here on 7F for a tutorial to help you on that type of association, but came up with a blank.
I did find these two on MSDN and MS Social answers, but they may do more harm than good in trying to understand how to do it in win 7:
Registering File Extensions for Side-By-Side Deployments
Problems with "File Association" in Windows 7 64-bit
Then I found this disappointing link.
After reading the replies to the question I did not even go to the link that was offered as an answer by Shawn B. Keene:
Need to enhance Windows 7 File Type Association interface. Very cumbersome compared to WXP.
