Hello everybody,

When I start FM 2015 (part of TCS 2015), I get a dialog box saying:

Adding information can unintentionally change or delete values and cause components to stop working correctly. If you do not trust the source of this information in

C:\Users\Carel\AppData\Local\Temp\frmreg.reg, do not add it to the registry.

Are you sure you want to continue?

Can anybody tell me what this registry entry is for?

Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Regards,

Carl

The FrameMaker application has a top-level file named fmreg.txt. This contains registry settings used to setup the application, with a placeholder for the actual install directory. FrameMaker checks for these registry settings at startup, and applies them if missing - including immediately post-install. To do so, creates a temporary file, replacing the placeholder for the install directory with the actual value.

The file you are seeing is almost certainly this temporary file. Compare it with the fmreg.txt file to verify.

Hello Mike,

Since I posted my question, I managed to check the contents of the file and it consists of a whole series of registry settings,

so you're right on the mark.

Thank you for your feedback.

Regards,

Carl.
