Windows NT Event Log and Registry
Windows NT requires applications that use the Event Log to be bound to all of the necessary components. For Progress this means that the
PROMSGS.DLL
and theCATEGORY.DLL
must be bound to any Progress database. Progress stores this information in the registry. Progress makes the registry entries and performs any binding operations that are necessary when you initially access a database. When Progress binds the DLL files to the database, it writes the fully qualified pathname to the registry. If you delete the database, you must manually remove the associated data from the registry. If you move the location of the DLLs after you access the database, you must manually edit the registry data. The Progress components can be found in the following location in the registry:
See the Microsoft Windows NT documentation for more information about editing registry files.
When Progress tries to find the DLLs before this information is included in the registry, it performs the search according to these rules:
If the DLL is not in the user’s path, Progress generates a message stating that the DLL cannot be found, and it writes a message to the Progress log file.
