Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Viewing registry information

Applications running in Windows platforms 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 OpenEdge installation adds the required progress.ini file information into the registry as entries under the following keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\10.1A HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\10.1A

Note: There is different progress.ini file information in each key.

The installation also automatically adds entries when you install an ODBC driver. For example, if you install the DataServer for ODBC, the following entries appear:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ODBC HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\OE Personal RDBMS\10.1A HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\Progress ODBC\10.1A

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:

On your desktop, choose Start Run. The Run dialog box appears.
Type REGEDIT (or REGEDT32) in the Open field, as shown:



Choose OK. A directory tree appears.
Double-click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\10.1A key or the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\OpenEdge\10.1A key to view its contents.
