Question:

Why does ProjectPilot open with the following error message:
"Unable to create ProjectPilot control. Is the registry correct?"



Answer:

The reason for this is usually an "external path" that no longer exists. When you start ProjectPilot,
the program tries to access the "external path", which is stored in the Windows Registry.
If this path no longer exists, you will see the above error message.

To correct this error, please do the following:

• Services application
• Service menu
• Windows Explorer - CAD program folder
• The path to the "User folder" is displayed in the window of the Services application. Open it in Windows Explorer.
• Find the "extern.cfg"file in this user folder and delete this file.
  

Now try to start ProjectPilotagain. If the problem still occurs, please do the following:

Start the services application -> Service -> Windows Explorer -> CAD program folder.
Open the "PRG" folder.
Find the following file: "NemProjectPilot10.exe"
Right-click this file -> select "Run as administrator" on the shortcut menu.
ProjectPilot should now start.

Try to start ProjectPilotstraight from Allplan. If the problem is still not solved, please do the following:

• Services application
• Service menu
• Windows Explorer - CAD program folder
• The Allplan program folder opens.
• Rename the "PRG" subfolder "PRG_OLD".
• Start installing the program from the current Allplan DVD.
• Select "Update installation".
• Select "Current license file".
• Set the setup type to "Minimum".
  

After installation try to start ProjectPilotagain.
