Missing registry keys after C2000 Code Generation Tool Installation

Please confirm you followed all the steps as described here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Compiler_Installation_and_Selection#CCStudio_3.x .

Thanks and regards,

Yes, I followed all those steps as I have done the last years I used this tools and uControllers. On my PC everything works well.
I have seen this behaviour on two PC's for the time beeing. If you can tell me what the conditions are in order that the keys in the registry can be created I can check why they are not complied.
By now I can't see any difference in the two PC's. They both running Windows XP Professional SP3 and the users have administrative rights on it.

Thanks.

Best regards,

I'll move this thread to the CCS forum.  We compiler folks don't know anything about the registry entries, but they do.  

Thanks and regards,

Patrick - there should be a *.reg file in the same folder as your standalone CGT install. Can you manually run that? That *.reg file should add the needed registry entries.

Thanks

The following investigations have been done with "C2000 Code Generation Tools 5.2.5"

Step 1: Running the installation does not create any registry keys.

Step 2: Running "compiler.reg" creates the necessary keys in the registry, unfortunately not for the archiver. So that works more or less.

Step 3: Running "RemoveRegistryKeys.exe" does not remove the registry keys created in step 2.

Step 4: Running "uninstall_cgt_c2000.exe" does uninstall all the files and directories but does not remove registry keys created in step 2.

--> Running a *.reg file works, so the user has all the rights needed to create the keys.
==> I think something is wrong with the installer (?)

Thanks

The installer seems to work ok. I just tried installing C2000 CGT 5.2.5 and the keys were created and it showed up in component manager. Then running the uninstaller removes the keys.

Other than Admin privileges, you don't need anything else on Windows XP (32 bit I assume). I'm not sure what else to check. To workaround the issue for now, they can manually add the keys to the registry

I have checked the file "compiler.reg" (below). Obviously there is no section for "archiver". Maybe that is the reason why there is no archiver registry keys found in the Windows registry after manully register the keys of cgt.  Is it supposed to be like this in the cgt 7.0.3?

"compiler.reg" in cgt 7.0.3.
