    Restore Project or Import Catalog always appears at start up

    Product(s): Bentley Substation
    Version(s): 08.11.12.xx
    Environment: N/A
    Area: Project Management
    Subarea: Backup and Restore Project

    Problem Description

    A Restore Project or Import Catalog dialog appears every time the software is started, regardless of whether the restore is cancelled or allowed to proceed.

    Explanation

    This occurs after a .PRJ or .CTLG file is double-clicked in Windows Explorer.  Canceling or proceeding with the restore should remove the registry value that tells the software to restore the file upon start up, but in some cases the value does not get removed.

    Steps to Resolve

    Option 1 - Edit the registry directly

    1. Browse to the following key in the Registry Editor:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bentley\Substation V8i

    2. Right-click this key and select Export to make a .reg file that can be used to restore the key if something goes wrong.

    3. Delete the following values

      ActionPath
      OpenReadOnly
      UpdatePages

    Option 2 - Create a .reg file

    1. Open Notepad

    2. Paste the following into Notepad.  Note that "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" should appear on the first line.

      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

      [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bentley\Substation V8i]
      "ActionPath"=-
      "OpenReadOnly"=-
      "UpdatePages"=-

    3. Save the file as RemoveActionPath.reg

    4. In Windows Explorer, double-click RemoveActionPath.reg.

    5. When prompted, allow it to modify the registry.

    Note: Microsoft says "Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry... view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756"
