Windows: jadx-gui-0.8.0.exe can't be placed in the Open With context menu

[jpstotz]

On Windows 10 I tried to add the jadx-gui-0.8.0.exe in the Open With list of APK files.

However it does not matter what I do Jad-X never appears in this context menu even if it you do open an APK using jadx-gui-0.8.0.exe once. Other apps then appear in the open with context menu, but not JadX.
Really strange. There must be something different/wrong with the jadx-gui-0.8.0.exe that prevents Windows from displaying it in the open with list.

I searched the net for this problem and found many similar issues in other applications.

It seems to be a problem with Windows 10 and the included app meta data in the EXE file. WIndows seems to assume that every EXE file has at least CompanyName and a FileDescription entry that is not empty.

For jad-x this means that the launch4j configuration options should include a companyName = "....." entry. It seems like the FileDescription is automatically added by launch4j. In my personal build it worked after adding the comanyName line.

I would provide a pull request, but I have to admit that I don't have a clue what we should set as companyName for an open source software like jad-x.

In my tests I used companyName = "Open Source Software (Apache License 2.0)"

Any comments or other suggestions?

@jpstotz I think just jadx as CompanyName is fine. Thanks for solving this!
