Something Corrupted

What are you doing when the XaReg error occurs ?

I would need the complete text of the details of the error to determine what has happened. The error indicates something is happening with the treeview which is used to list the installed versions of Xtreme and Web Designer. The out of range error could indicate that the registry contains entries for the programs but there is an error in attempting to retrieve some information. This could be due to a corrupt registry.

If you were using the recent file list option it is likely that there is a registry entry for a file but the file does not exist in the location the registry has listed for the file.

BTW there should never be a case where you would need to uninstall and reinstall any version of .NET. The technology is self repairing in the event of corruption.

Bill - This morning I have tried to run XaReg from a desktop shortcut. Attached is the details screen of the error. Xara is not open but appears to be running fine since I did a system restore so I conclude there must have been a registry problem?

Thanks for the info on .Net.

.NET framework corruptions are rare but they do happen from time to time for various reasons, commonly though the reason I mentioned above (windows update gone wobbly).
There are a number of ways to fix .net installation errors.
[1] There's a repair option in Add/Remove programes
[2] There's a manual method as explained in MS KB 306160 'How to repair an existing installation of the .NET Framework'
[3] A free .NET Framework Cleanup Tool to Uninstall And Fix Corrupted .NET Installs.

Steve/Bill - what version of .net does XaReg use? I have multiple versions installed.

**steve.ledger** · 13 February 2010, 11:35 PM

Version 2 or newer

I just ran Belarc to check what versions of .Net I have installed. Basically every one I think. I noticed this on the Software Version section of the report. Any ideas as to what this is?

The error indicates that nothing was added to the treeview, meaning registry entries for Web Designer and/or Xtreme were found. However, attempts to read the other registry keys needed to fill out the other controls on the XaReg window were either denied access or were not there to be read.

I would recommend deleting the current XaReg.exe and the dac.ini file in the same folder. Download a copy of the XaReg.zip file from the Xara Xone Shareware page. http://www.xaraxone.com/html/shareware.html

Unzip the XaReg.exe to a folder on your hard drive and try running the program.
