Article #29821: Installation incomplete: Unable to locate ModelMaker

Problem:

When starting ModelMaker within the Delphi IDE you receive this error: "Installation incomplete: Unable to locate ModelMaker." It works fine when logged in as a user with Administrative rights but not with other users. Why does this happen?

Answer:

The IDE integration expert uses HKey_Local_Machine\Software\ModelMaker\ModelMaker\6.0 to detect the install dir. If you do not have Administrative rights during install some OS'es do not allow writing to HKLM and as a result the IDE experts cannot locate ModelMaker. You can workaround this by starting ModelMaker from your Start menu or creating a shortcut on the desktop and running it from there.
