[REBOL] Re: Installation puzzle
From: antonr:iinet:au at: 23-Dec-2003 13:56
For finding out the answer to these kinds of
puzzles I recommend Sysinternals Regmon (a
registry monitor). Just run regmon first,
apply a filter *rebol*, then start rebol.
You can sift through the output to see
which registry keys are attempted to be accessed.
Anyway, having done that, you can see a line such as:
40.87314030 rebol12131.exe:400 QueryValue HKCU\Software\Rebol\View\HOME
SUCCESS "/d/anton/dev/rebol/view/"
which tells you where rebol is installed.
I first found this out by manually searching the registry
for "rebol".
Check out the rebol command line usage for the:
--reinstall (+i) Force an install (View)
option.
Also, I think I just deleted the registry branch
HKCU\Software\Rebol or
HKCU\Software\Rebol\View
to make windows forget everything about rebol.
That's the same as uninstall. When rebol is run
again, it will think it needs to install itself.
As far as I know, "installing" basically just means
modifying the registry.
