Applications running in Windows rely on the registry for startup information, such as color, font, and key bindings.
Note: Proceed with caution when viewing registry information. Any change you make to the registry, accidentally or intentionally, could have an unexpected and potentially adverse affect on your application.
The 32-bit OpenEdge installation adds the required progress.ini file information into the registry as entries under the following keys:
Note: If you install 32-bit OpenEdge on a 64-bit Windows machine, the Windows registry provides registry redirection for 32-bit programs. If you use 64-bit regedit to view the registry, the 32-bit OpenEdge keys appears as follows:
Note: There is different progress.ini file information in each key.
The installation also automatically adds entries when you install an ODBC driver.
To add progress.ini file information into the registry, run the ini2reg utility. (The ini2reg updates the HKEY_CURRENT_USERS key.)
To review registry information:
1. On your desktop, choose Start > Run. The Run dialog box appears.
2. Type regedit (or regedit32) in the Open field:
3. Choose OK. A directory tree appears.
4. Double-click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\<version> (or SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\<version> for 64-bit OpenEdge) key or the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\OpenEdge\<version> key to view its contents.
Note: Due to registry redirection on 64-bit Windows machine that use 64-bit regedit, the 32-bit OpenEdge keys appear in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE\Wow632Node\PSC\OpenEdge\<version> location.
