VISTA: XV Location Not Stored In Registry

 

SYMPTOMS

Even after installing/running the XV application, the location is not saved in the registry, so installing further updates/extensions will always require specifying the XV location.

 

RESOLUTION

  1. Run regedit, and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \
  2. Inside there, create a Key with the name Apteryx.
  3. Inside Apteryx, create a Key with the name ApplicationLocations.
  4. Inside ApplicationLocations, create a String with the name XVa3 and the value of the software location, such as: C:\Program Files\Apteryx\Apteryx Imaging\

OR

  1. Copy the following lines into a blank text document and save it with the extension .REG

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apteryx\ApplicationLocations]
    "XVa3"="C:\\Program Files\\Apteryx\\Apteryx Imaging\\"

  2. Execute the reg file and click Yes when it asks to add the content to the registry.
