Maintaining the Windows User Environment
In the Windows software environment, Progress uses the
progress.ini
file as well as the Registry to maintain environment variables.When you install Progress, the installation program automatically updates the Registry with the information in the
progress.ini
file that is shipped to you. Progress Software recommends that you maintain environment variables in both theprogress.ini
file and the Registry. If you modify environment variables in theprogress.ini
file, you must update the information in the Registry.Although there are several methods for adding and deleting information from the Registry directly, Progress Software recommends that you do not use these direct update methods. Instead, maintain the Registry information by editing the
progress.ini
file and using the INI2REG utility to update the Registry. This approach synchronizes the information in theprogress.ini
file and the Registry without causing unintended edits to the Registry.For more information about modifying the
progress.ini
file, see the "Maintaining the progress.ini File" section later in this chapter.
