Acrobat XI Creates Corrupt Registry Entry

I need help with what to do, if anything, with what appears to be the addition of a corrupt registry entry after installing Adobe Acrobat XI.
The corrupt entry was added to: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The entry that was added only contains the following four characters: @=””
The entry is not visible when using regedit. I just happen to see it when I exported Run to a .reg file and looked at with notepad.
See below.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Kglad,
Not that I know of at this time.
My concern is that this entry may cause problems if other entries are added to this location, which is quite possible, or when and if I try to remove Acrobat XI.
My hunch is that this entry was supposed to be Acorbat-sl.exe but I don’t know.
Sorry, I inadvertently clicked No for Was this helpful?

Adobe Acrobat plugin creates a fake entry at Windows' taskbar

Hello. Since a few Firefox and Acrobat Reader versions back (not sure which ones), whenever I open a PDF file in Firefox, Adobe's plugin creates a bogus window at my Windows' taskbar. It has the default unknown application icon, with no title, and it's useless clicking or right-clicking it, as not even a menu shows up. In fact, it is nothing, but it is annoying.
I am sure it is Adobe's plugin because it doesn't happen neither when I open a PDF with Firefox's built-in reader nor when I have Adobe's plugin enabled and set but not fired yet. Also, the fake window entry goes away a while after I close the last PDF tab.
I have uploaded a screenshot here: http://s2.postimg.org/rms7ywuvt/screenshot_firefox_adobe_acrobat_reader_plugin_f.jpg

It's hard to know what is happening here.
As a test of how Firefox+Acrobat works in an uncustomized Firefox, could you create a new Firefox profile and try that PDF again. In addition to bypassing current add-ons and custom settings, it should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Close Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]. Any time you want to switch profiles, close Firefox and return to this dialog. Two tips:
* When creating a new profile, I recommend using the default location suggested; if you prefer to use a different folder, to avoid data loss, do not choose any existing folder.
* I recommend backing up all profiles before using the delete function, so you can recover in case the wrong one gets deleted.
Does the plugin work any better in the new profile?

Need help uninstalling Acrobat 9.0 Pro (including registry entries)

Hello;
I installed Acrobat Pro 9.0 and am not happy with it and want to COMPLETELY uninstall it. I was able to uninstall it using Add/Remove Programs, but I can see that there are still some left-over registry entries related to Adobe Acrobat 9 (this was the only Acrobat product installed on my system).
Does anyone know how to completekly remove all traces of Acrobat from one's system, including all registry entries? I cannot find anything on the Adobe website, and am looking for similar instructions that were posted for Acrobat 8 (kb400658)
I'm running Windows XP SP3.
Thanks very much in advance for any help/advice offered.
Regards, smeghead99

Thanks for that suggestion. I tried using the Microsoft Installer Utility but I can still see Acrobat entries in my registry.
Surely a step-by-step set of instructions to completely uninstall Adobe products (as was put together for Acrobat 8) should be made available by Adobe?
Thanks in advance to those who offer help.

Lightroom Registry Entries... Serial Number Submission / Location has changed...

I just deleted all the registry settings for Lightroom on my Windows PC.
I currently have Lightroom version 1.3.1 installed.
TOPIC #1
Why is Lightroom version 1.3.1 recreating Lightroom 1.1 registry entries?
Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Adobe -> Lightroom
there is a 1.1 key with nothing in it...
I deleted it again and restarted lightroom again. Just to clear things up, Lightroom was not running when I deleted the registry entries... either was the annoying launch thing on the system tray.
TOPIC #2 -- Multiple Entries
Why is lightroom creating HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Adobe Lightroom AND HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Adobe -> Lightroom
This seems like poor organization and just asking for confusion (since you are asking users to entry the registry and modify things per your Knowledge Base articles.)
As a developer, I don't really see any reason other than sloppy code / trying to move from one location to another, but the code is unfinished. So the app is drawing info from both locations.
The Software -> Adobe Lightroom registry key holds information about the app... the Adobe -> Lightroom seems like the more logical place to put things (since Acrobat and other apps go under there) has nothing but a version number and the version number listed does not match the version installed (I have never had 1.1 installed on this machine.)
So bottom line? Why have both? Why not keep things in Adobe -> Lightroom?
My current problem is Lightroom will not accept my registration... it looks like the reason for that is they've decided to store the registration / serial number information under C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\Lightroom\Lightroom 1.0 Registration.lrreg
The Lightroom 1.0 Registration.lrreg file is PLAIN TEXT setup as a "reginfo" array of data...
regInfo = {
address = "my address",
city = "my city",
company = "Ryan Sinn Photography",
country = "1",
email = "email goes here",
email_again = "email goes here again",
firstname = "Ryan",
industry = "26",
occupation = "21",
receive_email = "receive_email",
receive_fax = "no_receive_fax",
receive_mail = "no_receive_mail",
receive_phone = "no_receive_phone",
serial_number = "here was my serial number in plain text",
state = "1879",
uuid = "not sure what this is yet... maybe it's unique",
zip = "55432",
This knowledge base article:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb401346
... is explaining how to fix the "registration try/buy prompt at startup" issue is wrong. At least it is on Vista. I have a second copy of lightroom (second serial number) on XP -- I'll have to check that out and see how that is setup and where the license file is.
The knowledge base or the FAQ (or both) should be updated because that solution no longer applies on the PC side of things.
Anyway -- enough of my rant about this stuff...
It just seems like version 1.3.1 and every version prior to it should really be release candidates for the REAL version 1.0.
Seems like the joke is on us ... we paid to figure out all the problems with the software... Does Adobe have QA Testers anymore or are professionals who pay for the software filling that roll?

The 1.3.1 created "Lightroom 1.0 Registration.lrreg" file has a different UUID... not sure how that is determined. Seems as though the other file was missing the Last Name, although I know I had that typed in. regInfo = { address = "address", city = "city", company = "Ryan Sinn Photography", country = "1", email = "email", email_again = "email again", firstname = "Ryan", industry = "26", lastname = "Sinn", <--- this was not in my other reg file occupation = "21", receive_email = "receive_email", receive_fax = "no_receive_fax", receive_mail = "no_receive_mail", receive_phone = "no_receive_phone", serial_number = "plain text serial number", state = "1879", uuid = "<uuid here>", zip = "55432", } It seems as though this file needs to be deleted if you installed an older version of Lightroom, then upgraded to 1.3.1 and then tried to buy the software.

How to create an ODBC entry from Java

From Java application, how can I create an ODBC entry in Ms Windows client?

I know of two ways you could do this. One is very dangerous, but I will describe it here. ODBC DSN's are created using a GUI application from within the Windows Control Panel. The GUI application manages a set of files found in the Windows directory. You can find them if you search for the ODBC. You should find odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini. These are text files, and you can view there structure using notepad. A Java program could open a stream and append whatever information you want to into these two files. The danger is that if you do it wrong, you will corrupt ODBC for all applications, so be very careful with this method.
The 2nd method, as I described above has been discussed (to death) within this forum. Just spend a little time searching, and I know you will find what you need to implement using that method. This is the method I would recommend using.
Good Luck,
Joel

Deleted the Registry Entry for OracleJobScheduler service. How to recreate?

I accidently deleted the registry entry for the OracleJobScheduler Service for my production database. I know I shouldn't have -- but I was re-creating the console and clicked on the wrong thing.
Is there a way to recreate the service? I copied the registry entry from another database, but the service isn't showing up in the Services window. I know how to create services using the NT Kit, but I am not certain how I need to set it up.
Thanks in advance,
DJM

I do not think you needed it. But in case you want to put it back, export OracleJobScheduler<SID> from any other windows database server, open and edit it in wordpad to change servicename, ImagePath and DisplayName, then import into this server.

CS5.1 overrides CS5 registry entries, how do I get the photoshop installation location safely?

Hi there,
I'm creating a installer for my Photoshop plugins, so I need to find out Photoshop installation directory. I did this by looking for registry 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\', but I found that CS5.1 will override the CS5 registry entries - they are both in ’HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0‘
So how can I distinguish CS5 and CS5.1 in the registry? Or how can I get the correct installation direcotry for both CS5.1 and CS5?
Thanks,
Daniel

You can't on Windows. On Mac they did the right thing and made a seperate .paths files. On Windows they just tromped on the CS5 registry entries with the CS5.1 entries, even though it's a completely seperate application installation with its own plugin path. Not too cool.
Although, it only matters if you encounter the probably rare corner case where a user has both CS5 and CS5.1 installed AND wants to put the plugins into the CS5 plugin path. We just punted and can only install into CS5.1 in that case, unless the user manually selects the installation location. It hasn't generated any significant support issues for us that I know of.

Oracle registry entries lost.

Relative novice DBA here....
We were having a problem with a drive controller on one of our development database servers and the system admin had to re-install the operating system (Windows2000) and that efficiently wiped out all the Oracle registry entries. The database files are all still out there and Oracle is still installed, but of course since the registry entries aren't there it won't start up.
Is there any way to recreate those entries, or can I re-install Oracle, create databases and point them to the existing files. Will it be able to recognize that the files have data and be able to read them?
There were no backups because it was a development box and the data could just be reloaded (a long process I'm trying to avoid).
I can re-install Oracle entirely, recreate the databases from the DDL and reload the data, but I'm just trying to make sure there is not an easier way.
Is it "start from scratch" time?
I think this would be a good thing for folks to know.
Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
- Dave Matern

If you only re-installed the Oracle software and didn't touch any of the database files, it should have worked. I just did the same a few days ago on my laptop when Oracle installer (again) messed up when trying to de-install an obsolete oracle_home.
Maybe because you had a problem with the controller, the control file and data files went out of synch in some way. Now, I am not a DBA, so this is getting a bit tricky for me too. You may try to recreate the control file. Backup everything before you do this!
SVRMGR
CONNECT INTERNAL
STARTUP MOUNT PFILE=<fullpath>
ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE RESETLOGS; This will create a trace file in the trace file directory. The file will have the extension ".trc" and is located either in the directory defined by the initialization parameter 'user_dump_dest', or, if this is not defined in "ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log," the file should be copied to a name such as "ccf<SID>.sql.
Check this script to see if all the paths and files are correct. Then:
SVRMGR
CONNECT INTERNAL
STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE=<fullpath>
@ccf<SID>.sql
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;

Script sharing: reading remote registry entries

Hopefully of use for someone else. I had to write this up to create a report of versions for all of our middletier servers.

Dangling registry entry from Flash 9 - flashutil9f.exe

I installed Flash 10, which supposedly removed Flash 9.
However, there is a persistent and unremovable key in the Windows
Registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D4304BCF-B8E9-4B35-BEA0-DC5B522670C2}
has a LocalizedString with the value
@C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil9f.exe,-101.
It will not let me delete it. How do I get rid of this dead
end registry entry?

Thanks for your reply!
We installed flash 9 with the .msi package, uninstalled in add/remove, or when upgrading the v10.
Yesterday I installed Adobe creative suite Premium 4 and got the same problem, that's why I came back and upped the post. In system restore, the restore point created during the installation was called "uninstallation of flash 9".
Nothing in event viewer about explorer.
Edit: If i reinstall flash 9, explorer comes back after a restart...

Error while creating table 'EDISEGMENT' entry for Transfer Structures

Hi Guyz...
I've been facing a few issues regarding activation of transfer structures.
I'll explain the whole process...so it makes sense to you guys.
I've initially activated the Transfer Structures in BI Content for Master Data. Later on we faced some issues in the DEV server. So we had to transport all the objects and store them locally on a temporary location. When the BI DEV sever, was up and running, we transported all the objects back to the server.
Now while moving the objects back to the sever. We had an errors in the Master Data Request (Log- Method Execution). After going into the log...this is what I found.
