Problem with custom URL schemes

$

We have a Windows and a Mac app that both handle the same custom URL scheme... Let's say it looks like "foo://bar". So when the user clicks such a link, or another program tries to load it, it will open the "Foo" app.

 

Here's the problem... suppose a user has the Mac version of "Foo" installed, and in a Windows VM on the same machine, he also has the Windows version of "Foo" installed. Apparently, Fusion registers as a handler for "foo://" in this case, and tramples all over the Mac app's ability to respond to the URL.

 

Is there any way to control this behavior in Fusion when that is not the desired behavior?
