Can't read registry entry AppPath... - My solution

Good news! For me, there was a simple solution when I got this error message. (Some background: We just upgraded Office to 2007 and RoboHelp 8 from RoboHelp 5.) Today when I tried to open RoboHelp for Word (version 8) for the first time, I received this error message:
"Can't read registry entry AppPath. RoboHelp may not be installed properly.
Re-install RoboHelp if you continu to get this message."
Actually, I didn't need to do anything major to successfully open RoboHelp for Word. The solution seemed to be simply to open RoboHelp for Word BEFORE opening Word. (Apparently, in my original attempt, I already had Word open.) So I rebooted my PC, and opened RoboHelp-for-Word first, and (Yeah!), RoboHelp for Word opened just fine.
Perhaps this will help someone else.

This forum is maintained by users of RoboHelp, not by Adobe, so your comments will not be seen by them.
You say you are dissappointed with the Adobe RoboHelp team but you don't say if you have been to Support and what they suggested.
I'm not sure what the problem is but I do know you cannot have more than one version of RoboHelp for Word installed on one PC. Maybe that is the cause.

Reading Registry entry from Java

Dear experts,
I need to read the registry entry's value "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\sShortDate"
from Java.
Will anybody help?
Thanks for future response
Unique

Do you really think it is a good idea to tie a program written in a language whose main
strong point is being platform-independent to a specific platform just to get a date format ?
You might want to take a look at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html

Webutil reading registry entries.

I have the following program unit that works in forms 6i using the win_api_environment.read_registry program unit.
l_filetype := WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry
('HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\'||l_extension, null, TRUE);
-- Get associated OPEN command e.g.
-- 'c:\win32app\msoffice\winword\winword.exe "%1"'
l_command := WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry
( 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\' || l_filetype
||'\shell\open\command'
, null, TRUE);
However, when I converted this to work with webutil by adding client_ to the win_api_environment, I get a no_data_found error.
In 6i, this returns the (default) value in the registry, if I change the null in both commands to '(default)', I still get no_data_found. If I insert a string value in the key I am looking at, it will return that key.
Basically, my question is how do I get the (default) value returned?
Thanks
Stephen

From my understanding of the source code of Client_win_api_environment.read_registry you need to explicitly pass the RegEntry as the second parameter to that function.
l_command := client_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry ( 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\',l_filetype ||'\shell\open\command', TRUE);
(Because of the following line in Client_win_api_environment.read_registry, see webutil.pll:
vcRoot := upper(substr(RegPath,1,instr(RegPath,'\')-1));
RegPath is trimmed to the first appearance of '\')
Hope this helps

Can I make an entry in widows Registry through an applet?

Hi,
Can i make an entry in the windows registry using applets?
actually i want to make an entry on a remote machine. is it possible?
if yes, then how?
thnx
kapilChhabra

Signing an applet basically gives it a certificate. The user decides whether to accept it. If no, it runs as a normal applet, if yes, it runs as a privileged applet like an application. Typically you would purchase certificates, but this is not necessary. You can self-sign. If the user knows and trusts you, he will click yes anyway.

Registry entry to force install of reader updates?

Greetings!
I've been trying to deploy Reader updates across our network via GPO but it's been a real, real hassle. Also, because some of the client PCs are connected via slow links the install time is sometimes excruciatingly long (computer configured GPO).
SMS is not an option right now, so I'm thinking that rather than use GPO to centrally manage reader updates I throw up my arms and leave it up to the users. So my question is if there is some sort of a registry setting that will force Reader updates to install once they are downloaded from the Internet. Or, alternatively, if there some sort of login script available that would check if there was a Reader update available for installation and forcibly install it. Or, alternatively, if anyone has figured out a better way to deal with the Reader GPO deployment nightmare.

Hi,
Well, as you mentioned, GPO would have been the best option to update across an enterprise network. You can refer to the guide at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Enterprise_Administration.pdf. It may give you some more tips on how to maybe change your settings to ensure a speedy install.
As far as your second question is concerned, you can use the "Automatically Install Updates" option for the Reader Updater, which will automatically install the updates as and when it downloads any. The registry entry to set the same is as below:
Prior to Reader 10.1:
[HKLM]\Software\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM\
Name: iCheck (DWORD)
Value: 3
Post Reader 10.1:
[HKLM]\Software\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM\
Name: iCheckReader (DWORD)
Value: 3
You can set the same using a login script via GPO itself. This will ensure that any and all updates as and when available will be installed as soon as its downloaded, provided no process of Reader is running at that time.
For more details on all the configurations on the updater preferences, please refer to the following document:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_Updater.pdf
Hope this helps

Can't read shuffle? found the problem/solution!

Apparently all the problem with my ipod shuffle was related to my USB2.0 expansion card. If anyone has this hardware: VIA Rev 5 or later USB universal Host Controller by VIA technologies. It may be the source of the problem I would encourage anyone to check which card they have a post it here when they have problems so we can come up with a list of incompatible USB devices.
My problem:
For me my computer would seem to corrupt my shuffle after a while, making it unreadable. If I restore the software to the shuffle on a Mac, it worked for a while until I plugged it back into my computer and noticed error messages such as 'i/o error' while copying songs to the ipod. After which it would never work correctly again. it would crash my computer left and right and even crashed a few Macs when it was in this state. The light would blink amber forever, it would charge and play music but never allow me to copy music to it. I would need to restore the software before my system could read it.
My solution is this:
1) Dont use expansion cards or USB hubs, plug it directly into the USB ports that came with your computer. In my case, my computer has USB1.0 built into the motherboard. The plugs for those are likely located near where you plug your PS/2 mouse or keyboard in.
2) If you try loading itunes, you probably still cant read the ipod on this port if it was corrupted (is that the right word?) like mine was.
3) Using the latest ipod updater either restore or update on the USB1.0 ports. this was my mistake before, it would fail when its plugged into the USB2.0 expansion card.
4) The ipod will then work normally you can copy songs and its like brand new as long as I dont ever plug it into the USB2.0 expansion card.
Hope this helps someone! This problem is crazy and apparently widespread.

My experience was a little bit different. The USB ports on my computer did NOT work. I have 6(!) in all; 4 in the back and 2 on top of my PC. None of them worked. (See my specs below)
Solution:
My Dell LCD monitor (2001FP) has 4 USB ports. Connecting to one of these ports works flawlessly. I believe it has to do with the ports on my motherboard not being "high power" USB ports while the ones on my monitor are powered via the monitor's power source.
I finally tried these ports after reading reports of success using powered USB hubs which is basically what my monitor is.

I had a similar experience with mac e-mail where apparently someones ICLOUD id for their Iphone was created with an Alias I had @mac.com for years. Originally thought the mail was phishing and deleted without opening - then received forwarded mail from the other persons non-apple account - so gave feedback through mail to apple and also sent an email to the other persons non-apple account from a non-apple account telling them I was getting their mail because it was my alias.
That person did get apple to untangle the accounts so I did have to reset my password once it was done.
So one option would be to contact apple support to get them to find out what is going on with your account.
E-mail contact of the other person was easy once I had a legit account to send to -- don't know how you would contact the other person in notes.

Junk registry entries

For starters, I have a message from GeekBuddy/Comodo, which costs $, which i don't want to spend right now. It says "You have 25443 junk registry entries." And "5 more issues." I'm trying to fix this w/o paying.
I have been having the following problems before the listed one: Going to on line banking, I got bombarded with pop-upads. It helped, temporarily to ask Internet Explorer how to get rid of pop-up ads. I know that my memory is low. I check with Malwarebytes and AVG and they keep me "cleaned up", but there probably is a "bug" that is beyond Malwarebytes and AVG, but I can't call the Tech guy again. Do I have clean-up and the capability on HP, Windows 7, whatever else, that will help w/o charging. I'm not holding my breath, but.... I don't even know all that might be in that box. Where do I go in my HP tutorials to learn how to trouble shoot with big guns and keep those buggy guys away. The way I got GeekBuddy and a bunch of other things i don't want, was when I thought I would go ahead ane renew the Free version of either my Malwarebytes or my AVG. They are due for renewal. I'm tired. RJW

Rebecca, welcome to the forum.
The ad that you are receiving about junk Registry entries is no more than SPAM. There is no way this individual can tell anything about your Registry without having access to your computer. Don't pay any attention to it. Whenever you install a FREE program, such as AVG, you should always use the Custom install option. This will allow you to opt out of any other programs that the installer wants to install.
The best thing to do to clean your browser of redirect viruses is do a "reset". Here is a guide to help you reset Internet Explorer. I have had to do this several times until I learned to use the "Custom" install option.
One way to eliminate unnecessary entries in the Registry is use Revo Uninstaller when uninstalling a program. I use the Advanced option and it not only deletes the program, but any remnants in the Registry. Again, you should use the "Custom" option to install it. There are third-party programs that will allow you to clean your Registry. However, I have never used one of them myself. By using Revo Uninstaller you will eliminate many of them before they happen.

CD-ROm registry entry

If I make the recommended change in my registry, my computer doesn't recognize the drive at all and it is useless. I seem to be dead ended. I can either make iTunes happy and completely disable the drive, or I can use the drive and iTunes warns me every time I boot up.
