Registry entries

To install the clients using the MSI for your user account or to deploy it for all users via Setup.exe, you must have write permissions for at least your own HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry key section.

For a system-wide installation of octoplant clients using the MSI, you require administrative privileges to write to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key section.

If you want to select the following options during or after installation using the Setup.exe or in the Client settings dialog of the UserClient, you need to edit the registry entry section HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

  • Register file extension for SmartImport for supplier projects
  • Register protocol extension to start octoplant via web link

Examples:

File extension for the SmartImport of supplier projects:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vdog-sdn]
@="octoplant"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vdog-sdn\DefaultIcon]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\vdogClient\\VDogClient.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\octoplant]@="octoplant"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\octoplant\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\octoplant\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\octoplantdog\shell\open\command]@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\vdogClient\\VDogClient.exe\" \"/rd:D:\\vdClientArchive\" \"%1\""

Protocol extension to start octoplant through a web link:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\vDog]
@="URL:vdog"
"URL Protocol"=""
"rd"="D:\\vdClientArchive"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\vDog\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\vDog\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\vDog\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\vdogClient\\VDogClientStarter.exe\" \"/%1\""
