I am running version 1.8.0.455 and continuously get these 48 items that can't be deleted nor fixed. Here is the summary report after running fix or delete:

These items were never detected with JV16 2005, but now show up after upgrading to JV16 2008.


Any suggestions are appreciated!

I am assuming you no longer have CorelDraw on your system … if you do, post here the "Error description" for a few of the items in the list you posted.


The "invalid key" message is probably not correct. PT doesn't always have an appropriate message available. To avoid work for the volunteer language translators, the English.lng file is not changed often.


It may be a permissions thing, not an "invalid key." After you check the permissions for a few items (with RegEdit), you could try changing the permissions. Sometimes they can't be changed, or you may not want to mess around with that.


So you could just add to your Ignore words tab. These should work for what you posted:

  • \Cdraw

    CorelDraw.Graphic

    \idcfile

The registry scanning "engines" are different in those products …

Thanks, tullik.


I purchased Corel Graphics Suite X3 Upgrade, but did not install Corel draw. I only use Photopaint X3.


I will try your suggestions & hope to reply with a report, but I'm now submerged in gathering tax info together! This will take awhile!

I changed the permissions for the listed files & JV16 was able to remove them with no resulting problem. Thanks again for the input.

Note for jv16:

  • * "Access denied" is better than "Invalid key" for this situation.


    * If I remember correctly, the first one is what RegEdit says when permissions don't match to allow a change ... ?


    * I wonder if the API return code allows a distinction to be made between "Access denied" and "Invalid key" ... ?


    * There is an "Access denied" message in English.lng in the file tools area (as you know).


    * I don't know if you can pick that up with a program change until PT2009, or something else, forces changes to English.lng.


    * If not, we can live with the misleading message until then. :(


    * Unfortunately, "Invalid key" implies a possible Registry Cleaner bug, since it got the key from windows in the first place. :

I agree, this improvement will be present in the next released version.
