I'm trying to associate .svg files to open with Inkscape's inkview.exe. Not being able to do so through conventional methods I'm trying the command line. What I did:

ran assoc .svg= and assoc .svgz=

ran ftype svgfile= and ftype avgzfile=

ran assoc .svg=svgfile and assoc .svgz=svgzfile

now when I run assoc .svg and assoc .svgz I get .svg=svgfile and .svgz=svgzfile respectively

the I ran ftype svgfile="pathtoinkview.exe" %1 and same for svgzfile

now when I run ftype svgfile I get svgfile="pathtoinkview.exe" %1

but when I check the file explorer I see the files are associated with Internet Explorer!!!

I would appreciate if you could help me know what is the problem and how I can solve it?

@Biswapriyo sir, Thanks for your comment. But as I have mentioned in the OP the conventional methods do not work for some reason.

Just had the same issue and this fixed it..
