Have you tried to create a registry key with [TARGETDIR]\\<Your app name> in the installer? The whole installer business is after all based on MSI so you best try to find how that would be solved in MSI and try then to apply that knowledge in LabVIEW.
And reading through one of the posts it would seem to me that this suggestion was already sort of linked to in one of the posts. If this can't be made to work in this way then I'm afraid there won't exist another solution directly in the installer, but I do think it will work.

Is there a way to create/edit registry keys with Java?

I'm writing a console app and I'd like to have it so the users can change values in the registry. I'm not just talking about app keys I want any key. Is there a way to do this with Java?

Maybe a forum search on "Windows registry" would turn up some useful things. You're not the first to ask this. You might save yourself and everyone else some time if you'd simply do that.

Registry key in installer

Hi,
I am createing an installer for a program. I need to create some entries in the windows registry. One of the values has to be the path to my executable, but I do not know the path when I create my installer. Is there any way I can retrieve the path to my installed executable during installation so that it can be written into the registry, or are there any other solution?
Thank you in advance.
Solved!

You could force the installer to run your executable upon finishing, and at that moment write the location of the executable to the registry.

Access Denied error on Registry Key with CRXIR2A SP6

We ship now the latest CRXI version (2ASP6) with our application. One of our users (Win7 Home SP1) gets an error on instantiating a report. Using ProcMon.exe this seems to be caused by an Access Denied error when accessing the HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports key. What can be the cause?

Hello Ludek,
I had to take ownership and then change persmissions to full. The problem did not go away however. As I noticed that the register key mentioned did not contain any subkeys I tried to remove it. This again failed because of persmission denied error. Funnily some subkeys suddenly showed up. I took ownership, changed permissions and tried again. Lo and behold the subkeys I tried to delete (and in which no subkeys were visible) suddenly showed more subkeys. At this point I stopped fearing that I was damaging the client's computer. The subkeys were related to the RAS server. Does that say anyting to you?

BPC 5.1 SP3 Client Installs Change EnableNegotiate Registry Key

Just starting with BPC. Our first version is 5.1 SP3 and the server installation was completed successfully.
However, we have found that installing either the Admin or Office client components changes the following windows registry key on the client machine.
Under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
EnableNegotiate is set to 0.
This causes the users default home page link to our Sharepoint Intranet to fail with a security error (403.1).
Uninstalling the client components does not reverse the registry key change.
Only manually changing the value of the key back to 1 resolves the issue.
Is there any way to prevent this key from being modified by the client installations?
Why is the registry key changed? Is it critical to the functionality of the client components?
We have not seen any problems in the BPC 5.1 client applications with the EnableNegotiate key set back to 1.
I'm new in these forums. Any input is appreciated.
Regards,
James Littleton

Hi James,
Personally I never have had any issues with this registry key, might be because I do not have many customers using sharepoint.
As you already did, I would change the key and test all functions within BPC extensively, If no problems are found, you could go for it. But be carefull with upgrades of the client software of BPC
Additionaly you could ask support why this key is changed with a client install of BPC.
Instead of a client install via the BPC webportal, a lot of customers are preparing/using custom software packages like SMS. You could reset the registry key with the requred value by using these kind of packages automatically.

Windows handles left open after opening and closing registry key

When I open a registry key with 'Create Registry Key.vi' or 'Open Registry Key.vi' and thereafter close it with 'Close Registry Key.vi', there are 2 Windows handles left open. As my program polls the registry for changes repeatedly, my system crashes because after a certain time of use, no handles are available anymore.
I'm using Windows XP and Labview 8.6.
The VI in the attachment illustrates the problem (reading and writing of values are left out as these have no influence on the problem).
How can I read and write the registry, without leaving open handles?

Dear Ruud,
thank you so much for your post on our webforum. I noticed that this is a known issue for Labview 8.6, a while ago it was reported with a Corrective Action Request (CAR# 132471). The issue should be resolved with Labview 2009. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue wit Labview 2010, the number of handles stayed arround 28000,

SharePoint 2010 with SQL Reporting Services 2012 "Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key"

i have a small sharepoint farm "2 servers" (WFE) and SQL Server 2012 ,
i installed rsSharePoint for reporting services , as a read the Reporting services is Application Service with SQL 2012 not as SQL 2008 R2 with SharePoint integrated mode, so after installation when am trying to configure the SQL Server
Reporting Services Application services i got the below error :
"Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key"
any kind of help would be much appreciated .

I'm having the same issue, but to me it seems like the instructions I've seen are all over the place. I already have SP 2013 and SQL 2012 SP 1 installed. I already added the features for Reporting Services - Sharepoint and Reporting Services
Add-in for SharePoint Products. I didn't see the Reporting Service service in CA, so I ran the powershell scripts to add SPRSService and SPRSServiceProxy.
My initial quest, was to get the BI features enabled, which took me on the journey of adding the Report Services, then I got the error.
Then when I read this about installing the BI features
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/querysimon/archive/2012/11/26/installing-the-bi-features-of-sharepoint-2013.aspx, which I already had SQL and SP installed. Do I have to rerun and selct the SQL Server PowerPoint for SharePoint option? I have the PowerPoint
Configuration Tool on my SQL server, I run it and I get PowerPivot for SP 2013 Configuranoi is missing prerequisits: SP 2013 EE is required. Which I have EE.
Is Reporting Services different or in addition to the BI Feature (PowerPivot)?
Have I missed a step?
Thanks for you help.

I can not re-install/ update apple iTunes on my HP PC running Win7-64. I get a registry key error when installing and am asked to make sure I have access. IT is a home PC with one user and I have admin priveledges.

When the updater notified me of an iTunes update, I selected the update option. The update failed and killed the version I was running. I have tried for a year to fix the problem without sucess. I can't completely remove all Apple products. I can not install any apple products especially iTunes which is the only one I am interested in.
When I install iTunes now I get a registry key error similar to this:
I am using a machine where I am the only user and am the Admin. I have looked at the security settings on this key and see nothing wrond with it or the parent keys. I tried removing all apple products but ran into similar problems. At this time I still have Bonjour. Mobile Device Support, Software Update, and Application Support installed.

These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
c. Perform the following actions
i. Right Click on Components Folder
ii. Select Permissions
iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
iv. Select Advanced Button
v. Select Owner Tab
vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
ix. Select Apply
x. Select Apply again
xi. Exit the Registry Editor
Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

From above it seems client tools component is missing from Installation or may be problem with Windows installer but I guess this is not issue with windows installer . Can you re download SQL Server package and run again.

Reportings Services in a 2-Tier Architecture / (Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key. )

Hello,
we want to install Reporting Services in a 2-Tier Architecture. The Servers are the following:
SERVER1: Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012
SERVER2: SharePoint 2013 (WFE)
Reporting Server is installed on SERVER1 and running. On SERVER2 the registration of the service through Powershell was done but it does not start. An Error when starting the Service on the server occurs with the message:
"Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key."
I have found the following in msdn stating that a minimal of the same SharePoint Installation must exist on the Reporting Server. The article is for SQL Server 2008 R2 and SharePoint 2010. Is this the case also for SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 and
the root of the problem? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510781%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
If so does this mean that I require for the installation another License?!?!
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to install Reporting Services in a 2-Tier Architecture.
As the article
say, if you use Two-Computer Deployment, the first computer hosts an instance of a SharePoint product. The Reporting Services Add-in is installed on this computer. The second computer hosts SQL Server Reporting Services and the Database Engine.
The steps to install in a two-tier environment are very similar to a standalone environment hence you can go to refer to the ' Install Reporting Services SharePoint Mode for SharePoint 2013' article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068(v=sql.110).aspx
To install in a two-tier environment, you can refer to:

SCCM 2012 Installation Directory Registry Key chaning automatically to Old Installation Path

Hi Guys,
I have recently recovered SCCM 2012 SP1 CAS Site from Primary Site by reinstalling CAS site and database was replicating with Primary sites properly after CAS recovery. But we noticed that after approx. 2 hours of CAS site recovery database replication stopped.
After long digging into SCCM log files we found that SCCM installation directory was pointing to old CAS Site Installation Directory (Which was before recovery) instead of NEW Installation Directory so we changed SCCM CAS Site Installation Directory manually
to new installation path in below registry key and everything was running fine again on CAS Site.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Identification
But again when we restarted SMS_EXEUTIVE Service, SCCM Installation Directory again changed to old installation patch under above registry location and all is bad again. We are unable to figure out what is causing this and even we formatted our HDD before
installation CAS Site.
Can anyone please help to get rid of this issue. Our while CAS site is down due to this issue.
Thanks.

I think that you have to use the same installation directory in a site recovery scenario.

Activate Updater with registry key

Hi there,
i have got a problem. I will make it quick. I look for a way to set the updater to status "download all updates and install them automatically".
I want to do this with a registry key which i will send to all clients in our organisation for installation.
Can someone tell me which registry key is changed when i set the status to "download all updates and install them automatically"?
We are using Adobe Reader 9.3.

App Builder Installer Build Registry Keys no longer created in Vista.

This board has been a great resource for answers...thank you all for your help.
Last week (7/31/09), an automatic MS Windows Vista Home Premium
upgrade was performed on my development PC. After the upgrade, I
used AppBuilder to build the final version of my application, which writes
3 string keys to the Window's registry. The Installer build completed successfully,
however, when I run setup.exe, I received an OS error stating that I don't
have permission to update the registry. I have full admin rights AND
User Account Control (UCS) is OFF. This error notification occurred 3
times, once for each registry addition attempt.
The installation was working correctly prior to this Vista update and still works in XP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please note that this is VI independent- the registry keys were created through
the AppBuilder 'Installer' tool.
I worry that this problem will manifest itself with all new LV application installations
that have the Vista upgrade.

Does the installation fail only when you try to install on computers that have the Vista update? Or since you have updated your development computer, when you build the installer again the installation will fail on any computer? Have you tried installing it on more than one computer with the Vista update?
Please attach the installer log for when the installation fails.

Registry key string values disappearing with SCOM

I'm trying to determine why some registry key string values are disappearing when Windows Server 2008 machines are restarting. In all cases, System Center Operations Manager is installed on the server. The registry keys whose string values are deleted are
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IISADMIN, HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC, and HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WAS.
The string value is the same in all cases. The string data item is called "Environment" and the string multisz value is "COR_ENABLE_PROFILING=0x1".
Does SCOM, or part of it such as the Avicode monitor, cause these values to be removed when a system is restarted?
Thanks,
Bob

Bob,
SCOM2007 will do nothing in that sense, unless it is integrated with AVIcode --> but that would mean you have TWO agents on the machine (the SCOM and the AVIcode agent), since they were two separate products... where you run your other profiler,
you should not use AVIcode.
SCOM2012 installs the APM piece with its agent... but leaves it DISABLED until you configure it. While it is disabled, no rule that touches configuration gets applied to it. Once you do ENABLE the APM functionality, then yes, we will go and change the registry
key adding ourselves (APM) as profiler... because that is what the configuration to tells us to do. If you REMOVE that configuration, we'll clear ourselves out of it.
But again, it requires configuration to be done -- otherwise, out of the box, we do none of this.

Java Plug-in not working with WinXP SP2 Registry Key Missing Error Pop-Up

I have WinXp PRO with SP2 and the Oct 12 Security Update Patch for SP2 loaded and I went to my Control Panel and saw that the JavaRuntime Environment 1.4.2_04 icon was missing and when I went to click the Java Plugin icon to Open it, I got the following message in a Error Pop-Up window:
The system cannot find the registry key specified:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java pPlug-in\1.4.2_04\JavaHome
I then went to Chage Access Program Controls and when I clicked on the Change box for the program, it wanted me to re-install the whole environment.
Prior to doing this, and potentially screwing up my MS winXp environment, I went to the Sun support page for Java Plug-in and I did get the dancing elmo appear as they said I would but I noticed that my environment was MS VM, not Java and that I was out of date and a newer update was avaliable.
The downloads page for the plug-in states clearly that it supports WinXp SP1 and NOT SP2.
SO, my question is, do I need to re-install anything or wait till the whole SP2 issue and java with (BITS) issue gets resolved and just use the MS VM engine during my browsing time? Is there a workaround and what impact will this have on my system? I am not developing Java Apps but am a Power user in Windows who is wondering if applets and general browsing might be easier, faster and more fluid if the Java Runtime was enabled as opposed to the MS VM solution?
Any ideas or thoughts on this very timely issue would be greatly appreciated as I see others have tried to post related issues but none that succinctly combines what I have asked for here in this post.
Thanks from NYC -Phil

did you know that XP SP2 has so many technical problems? try SP1 or contact the WindowsXP Vendor
