Windows Registry Changes

Windows Registry keys will be written by the Exago Installer when installing the Web Application, the Web Service API and the Scheduler Service.

Web Application

The Web Application will add four new keys to the registry. Each key and its contents are described in the tables below.

Note

This section references <web site name>/<virtual directory name> as a placeholder for the IIS web site and virtual directory configured during the installation process. The default values are Default Web Site and Exago respectively.

  1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Exago\ExagoWeb\<web site name>/<virtual directory name>
    This key is used by the installer to determine the installed version number and the location of the installation. It will be updated with each subsequent installation of Exago into the same web site and virtual directory.

     

    Table A

    e.g. Default Web Site/Exago
    Location REG_SZ Physical location of the installation

For example, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Exago\ExagoMonitoringService.2019.2.183 As this key has the Exago version in it’s name, on subsequent update installations of Exago, new keys will be written each time instead of updating this current one.
