Set default program via batch file

Jason

What am I doing wrong. Seems like it should be working.

:: PDF File Association for Bluebeam.
:: ####################

IF EXIST "C:\Program Files\Bluebeam Software\Bluebeam Revu\Revu\Revu.exe" (goto bluebeam) else goto bluebeamcheck

:bluebeam
ftype Bluebeam Revu="C:\Program Files\Bluebeam Software\Bluebeam Revu\Revu\Revu.exe" %1
assoc .pdf=Bluebeam Revu
Exit

:bluebeamcheck
IF EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bluebeam Software\Bluebeam Revu\Revu\Revu32.exe" (goto bluebeamold) else goto bluebeamend

:bluebeamold
ftype Bluebeam Revu="C:\Program Files (x86)\Bluebeam Software\Bluebeam Revu\Revu\Revu32.exe" %1
assoc .pdf=Bluebeam Revu
Exit

:bluebeamend
Exit
