Resolving The Problem
Launching Rose RealTime on Windows 2000/XP causes the Error dialog: "Failed to update the system registry. Please try using REGEDIT. <OK>"
When you select "OK" the registry files for Rose RealTime are not updated correctly. As a result, you may see the following symptoms:
* The Model Browser and the Output window do not automatically appear in the Rose RealTime workspace.
* Two menu items: "Add Class Dependencies" and "Component Wizard" are missing from the Build menu.
* The configuration of the Add-In Manager is not restored, i.e. no checkmarks appear when Tools > Add-Ins is selected.
* The 'Version' and 'Company' data for add-ins do not appear in the 'About Rational Rose RealTime' dialog (Help > About Rational Rose RealTime). The 'Version' and 'Company' information only appears for "Rose RealTime".
* The toolset will not allow the user to set the 'Environment' and 'Type' fields in the General tab of the component specification.
* (Windows 2000:) The toolset will not allow the user to set the 'TargetConfiguration' on the C or C++ Compilation tab of the component specification. When the 'Select' button is clicked, the 'Select Target Configuration' dialog does not appear.
* (Windows 2000:) Attempting to build a model by selecting "Rebuild" in Build menu or by using the hammer icon in the toolbar causes a "Build failed" message in the Build Log.
* (Windows 2000:) Attempting to run a model after selecting "Yes" to the question: "Executable does not exist. Build it?" gives the Error: "Operation not allowed."
The above symptoms and error is caused when the user has "Guest" or "User" privileges on Windows 2000/XP. "Guests" and "Users" do not have rights to update the system registry.
