Can this behavior be changed? I never need the custom transformer installed because I keep them all in a shared directly. If I double-click it I'm always going to want to edit it. Additionally, because the default behavior is to "install" I can't open alternate versions from our version control system for editing because it always tries to "install" the version, rather than editing.
I think it's difficult to change the default behavior of double-click. To avoid unexpected installing, I usually right-click on an fmx file to show the menu, and then select Install or Edit.

You can change the double-click default in the registry, look up the following key in regedit:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FMETransformerFile\ShellChange the default value from "FME_Workbench_Install" to "FME_Workbench_Edit".

Thanks David, I tried this out as it looks like exactly what I need to do. Unfortunately, my registry editor is not letting me edit this value. I'll try some other approaches because it looks like you've set me on the right path...
Takashi, right-click doesn't work for me because I can't right-click from within my source code control system. It's the default behavior that I need to change.

I had to run regedit with Administrator permission for it to accept the change.
