I have recently upgraded to MS Windows 7 and reinstalled my license of Visual Importer Pro. Execution has been irratic at best in this environment. I believe the root cause of the behavior may be that the software has not registered itself correctly on installation. When attempting to save the Options dialog I receive an error 'Unable to open key - "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VImpPro\TApPropDlgFrm" for write.'

I am not able to access any ODBC drivers other than those provided for the DEMO files.

Any ideas how to correct this issue?

Not enough user rights
or registry virtualisation is enabled

Try this

Is it win 7 64 bit?

Thanks. I am running 64bit. I have administrative rights to the machine.
There appear to be a few registry entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DB Software Laboratory.

I had not really used VI Pro that much in the previous Vista environment. Not enough to establish alternative repositories or projects. I relied mostly on an older version of the basic Visual Importer.

Did I miss something on the install?

No you did not miss anything

Exactly same problem as it was reported before

Open command prompt and run

reg flags "HKLM\SOFTWARE\DB Software Laboratory" SET DONT_VIRTUALIZE

if it fails run

reg flags "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\DB Software Laboratory" SET DONT_VIRTUALIZE

run regedit

Open
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\DB Software Laboratory
Right click
Permissions

I get an error on both commands - "Error: the system was unable to find the specified registry key or value."

There is no directory for DB Software Laboratory in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE.

Testimonials

My boss told me to keep looking for a more expensive application, assuming Visual Importer ETL couldn't be very good because the price was just too low.  After testing several imports I convinced him that Visual Importer did everything we want so there was no need to pay for a more expensive solution.
