Viewing Registry Information

Applications running on Windows platforms rely on the registry for startup information, such as color, font, and key bindings. The Progress installation adds the required progress.ini file information into the registry as entries under the following keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\9.1E
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\9.1E 

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 ODBC Personal DataServer, the following entries appear:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ODBC
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\ODBC Personal DS\91E
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\Progress ODBC\91E 

To add progress.ini file information into the registry, run the ini2reg utility. (The ini2reg updates the HKEY_CURRENT_USERS key.)

Follow these steps to review registry information:

  1. On your desktop, choose StartRun. The Run Dialog box appears.
  2. Type REGEDIT (or REGEDT32) in the Open field:
  3. Choose OK. A directory tree appears.
  4. Double-click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\9.1E key or the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\9.1E key to view its contents.
