After install of EMC9 I found a couple of errors in the registry, which I corrected manually:

Assuming that the install has been to the default location,


At the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\EXCDLabelCreator.Document\DefaultIcon

the default value reads

@="C:\\Program Files\\Roxio\\Label Creator 9\\LCTaskAssistant.exe,1"


This should be

@="C:\\Program Files\\Roxio\\Label Creator 9\\LCTaskAssistant9.exe,1"


since the file is LCTaskAssistant9.exe, not LCTaskAssistant.exe


Similarly


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\VCU3DcheckApp.exe

should be

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\VCU3DcheckApp9.exe


and the default value of that key, which read

@="C:\\Program Files\\Roxio\\VideoCore 9\\VCU3DcheckApp.exe"

should be

@="C:\\Program Files\\Roxio\\VideoCore 9\\VCU3DcheckApp9.exe"


Presumably these are typos in the corresponding inf file registry entries section.

If you verify that the suggestions of the OP are indeed right, is it safe to manually edit the registry and update those values to what they should be? Do they have big impact on core apps such as VW, MyDVD, PhotoSuite, etc?

I checked my machine and my registry confirms what Jean has posted.  So what made you check this out Jean? Were you having trouble?

GGRussell,

No, no trouble, I just happened to run 'check for issues' in CCleaner and it flagged those entries. Rather than let it fix them (which would most likely have deleted the keys), I checked up on the file names and immediately saw what the problem was, so just corrected manually.

Malatekid,

As they stand the registry keys point to nonexisting files and are therefore useless. Correcting the file names will at least make them relevant. I don't know when they are used, but presumably the registry entries were created for a reason, so I think it's better to correct them. However they are not very important keys: the first one defines an icon and if that is wrong Windows would just use a default icon instead. The second one tells Windows where to find the file (as it stands a nonexisting, therefore never called upon one). If some Roxio component needs to find the right file it probably knows where to look. But I just like things to be tidy.

Thank you for the info! Like you, I like things to be tidy.

Just installed EMC9 and my registry has these same "errors".  Any follow up on this?  Should I do the manual edits?  What do they affect?

Excellent work Jean!  I was noticing the same problem with Norton Utilities two days ago.  I was going to ask Roxio about it, but here you've already gone and fixed the problem!  Kudos to you!

Now somebody needs to tell Roxio to fix these bugs.  The first only affects an icon, but the other two prevent stuff from running.

Thanks again Jean for your excellent troubleshooting skills.

You are right.  It would be helpful if posters first actually read the posts in a thread.  :)

Yeah, I reported it. I didnt understand the whole explanation (I am not a programmer) but apparently there should be no ill effects.

You mean no ill effects from just leaving it as installed, right?  (It could be interpreted as no ill effects from doing the registry fix suggested by JeanRosenfeld).

Actually either way. Apparently changing them or leaving shouldnt affect anything.  Dont ask me why though, thats just what I am told.
