Question

Cause
When double-clicking .rpy file, the latest installed Rhapsody version would always be launched even manually associated .rpy file with a different version of rhapsody.exe from Windows.
Answer
This solution contains information about modifying the system registry. Before making any modifications to the Microsoft Registry Editor, it is strongly recommended that you make a backup of the existing registry.

Value defined in below registry key would be referred when double-clicking .rpy file.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\rpyFile\Shell\Open\command
Every time you install Rhapsody, the value would be updated with the full path of rhapsody.exe from current version.
You could modify the value of above registry key via Windows registry directly or use any Registry Editor to specify a different version of Rhapsody you prefer to launching when double-clicking .rpy file.
