What if I had used SmartMonitor?

For this tutorial I Originally had SmartMonitor enabled and this is what I got instead:

-In Setup Editor view, Tables tab

-Press Ctrl-F and enter [!

-When one is found, check to see if that value in the registry of the Snapshot PC has the Long file path or the Short file path.

Here the root column is 0 which means the CLASSES_ROOT hive.

Therefore we look in the registry for:

HKCR\TypeLib\{5852F5E0-8BF4-11D4-A245-0080C6F74284}\1.0\HELPDIR

Here I used Installation Expert view to find it:

Since the path is C:\Program files\ . and not C:\Progra~1\... WPS should have encoded starting with [# but instead encoded it starting with [!. In this particular case, Sun’s JVM will puke on such a thing. To fix it we change the [! to [#.

This happens at 12 places in the package including the example above:

HKCR\TypeLib\{5852F5E0-8BF4-11D4-A245-0080C6F74284}\1.0\HELPDIR
