There is an unsupported tool available called the Registry Corruption Tool which will fix registry corruption where an OpenEdge version has an extra character after it, such as 10.2Bu or 10.2Aw. Also, part of the registry information is under the correct key, such as 10.2B, and part is under the corrupt one, such as 10.2Bu. The tool will correct the key name and move the registry information from both keys to the correctly named key.
It has been tested on all supported Windows Operating Systems. The tool works 10.1A, 10.1B, 10.1C, 10.2A, 10.2B, and 11.0 for 32-bit OpenEdge as well as 64-bit OpenEdge.
There are separate tools for 32-bit and 64-bit OpenEdge. The tool is located in the following directories:
The 32-bit application fixes the registry issue in 32-bit OpenEdge installed on a 32-bit OS or 64-bit Windows OS.
The 64-bit application fixes the registry issue only for 64-bit OpenEdge installed on a 64-bit Windows OS.
NOTE: The command should be run "as Administrator" or the registry may not be updated.
Right Click the Proenv executable or shortcut icon and select "Run as Administrator" even if the account logged in is an Administrator account.
To run the 32-bit tool from a "proenv" environment, use the command syntax shown below (In Windows 10, proenv has to be started "as administrator"):
OERegFix32bit.exe <OEVersion>
Where <OEVersion>: Open edge version (For example 10.1A, 10.2B, etc).
This is case sensitive.
Example:
OERegFix32bit.exe 10.2A (works)
OERegFix32bit.exe 10.2a (doesn't work)
To run the 64-bit tool from the "proenv" environment and use the command syntax shown below:
OERegFix64bit.exe <OEVersion>
Where <OEVersion>: Open edge version (For example 10.1A, 10.2B, etc).
This is case sensitive.
Example:
OERegFix64bit.exe 10.2A (works)
OERegFix64bit.exe 10.2a (doesn't work)
Before fixing the registry issue, the tool will make a registry Backup File:
<System-Drive>\Windows\PSC_HKLM_REG_KEY64_RegBackupXXX.reg (64bit open edge)
<System-Drive>\Windows\PSC_HKLM_REG_KEY32_RegBackupXXX.reg (32bit open edge)
<System-Drive>\Windows\PSC_HKCU_RegBackupXXX.reg (Both 32bit and 64bit)
Where XXX is Year Month Day Hour Minute Second
Logging information:
A log File will be created under: <System-Drive>\Windows\OERegFix.log
The tool returns the following in the OERegFix.log file:
0 – success
1 - normal failure scenario
2 - failed for insufficient arguments
3 - Error in finding registry or opening registry
4 - Failed to create/open log file
5 - Failed to find the log file location to create Windows directory
