Hello,
Is there a reference for the HKCU\Software\Lotus\Notes\Installer keys?
I’m finding out that the COM interface is sensitive to where and which notes.ini files happen to be on a workstation. In my environment, users have a shortcut that specifies which notes.ini file to use, but my app doesn’t know anything about application shortcuts. And the COM interface seems to use two ways of determining which notes.ini file to use.
-
A notes.ini file found in a folder defined in the user’s registry (reason for the question above).
-
A notes.ini file that can be found in the user’s search path.
Even if a user’s shortcut specifies a correct notes.ini file, if any of the above conditions return an invalid notes.ini file, the COM interface is broken until the invalid notes.ini files are deleted (or updated with correct info) and a search path is added that points to the correct notes.ini folder.
As a defensive measure, I’m developing code to refer to the registry as well as the Windows Search Path to try to determine why the COM interface may fail to initialize and help the user understand what needs to be done to fix things… but, that seems to be a technical issue end-users may not be comfortable with.
Any suggestions or references would be appreciated.
Thanks.
