"This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page."

This is the error you get when you try to Open a file without having an app associated with the file type. Double-Clicking, or select "Open when download is complete" will tell windows to find the application that is used with the file type, and ask the application to open it, as a command line parameter.

For example:
notepad.exe myfile.txt

As notepad.exe is normally associated with *.txt files, then double-clicking the file will have notepad open the file.

You can associate sierrachart_64.exe with *.cht files.
