Restore ClearSCADA Registry Settings with a ViewX Command

You can use the /register ViewX command to restore registry settings. This is useful if the Windows’ registry editor (regedit) has been used to alter registry settings incorrectly (which may cause ‘Class Not Registered’ errors if you are using the Automation interface). You may be able to correct the errors using /register.

When you use /register, ClearSCADA is able to repair many (but not all) incorrect registry settings relating to ClearSCADA.

To use /register:

1. In Microsoft Windows, run the Command Prompt.
2. When the prompt is displayed, use the change directory command to locate your ViewX application. For example, if your command prompt shows Documents and Settings\<Your Windows ID> when you first display it, you need to enter:

   cd <the location of your ViewX application>
   

Do not include the angle brackets. For example:

cd C:/Program Files/Schneider Electric/ClearSCADA


3. Press the Enter key. The command prompt should change to show the location of your ViewX application.
4. When the prompt shows the location of your ViewX application, enter:

   /register

5. Press the Enter key.
   ClearSCADA will attempt to restore the ClearSCADA related registry settings.

NOTE: Alternatively, you can enter the location of your ViewX application and add the suffix of SE.Scada.ViewX.exe /register as the Target of a desktop shortcut. You can then use the desktop shortcut to run the /register command. There has to be a space between SE.Scada.ViewX.exe and /register. For more information on desktop shortcuts, please refer to the documentation supplied with your Windows operating system.
