   See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=110243 for multiple reports of URI handling not working.

   Yeah, I'm going to do some tests!

   Tests were run with v0.7.0-beta (last official release): Running instance and clicking an invalid Bitcoin-URI: passed (tray-notification is shown) Running instance and clicking a valid Bitcoin-URI: passed (client is shown / address and amount is entered) Starting instance by clicking an invalid Bitcoin-URI: passed (tray-notification is shown) Starting instance by clicking a valid Bitcoin-URI: passed (client starts / address and amount is entered)

   Looking good to me, I didn't yet read the thread, will do that now.

   It could be we have a problem with: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/share/setup.nsi#L104

   A user on the forum reports this as his entry in the registry: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" "$1", wheras I have "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" "%1" (which I setup for myself)

   I'm now sure that we use a wrong character in the setup.nsi file, it needs to write "%1" into the registry. But I'm not sure if this is also valid for Windows XP...
