Unhandled exception opening unknown file type after saving report

This isn't that big of a problem really. If I attempt to save a report in a format for which you I don't have a program, and I check the "Open after Export" checkbox, I get the error:

----------------------------
[Customer Explanation]

[General Info]

Application: Stimulsoft Reports.Net
Framework: v2.0.50727
Version: Version: 2009.2.453 from 6 July 2009
MachineName: KOUGA
OSVersion: Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3

[Exception Info]
Message: No application is associated with the specified file for this operation

[Assemblies]
mscorlib, Version = 2.0.0.0
Stimulsoft.Controls, Version = 2009.2.453.0
Stimulsoft.Report, Version = 2009.2.453.0
Stimulsoft.Report.Win, Version = 2009.2.453.0

System.Drawing, Version = 2.0.0.0
System.Windows.Forms, Version = 2.0.0.0
System.Xml, Version = 2.0.0.0

This happens on two XP SP3 machines, but not on Vista.
On my Vista machine, it gives the standard "Windows cannot open this file" "What do you want to do?" dialogue that lets you select a program. (And which is more friendly to end-users).

We made some improvements in that direction.
Please check the latest build from 13 July when it will be available.

Thank you.
