Required User Access Rights

PC-DMIS requires read, write, and create access to the locations defined below in the file system and registry.

### File System

Use UACFileSystemPath variable in the endings for these paths. If a minor version, use a format of: YYYY MRn where YYYY is the major version and n is the minor version number.

##### Windows XP

- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013

- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013

- C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013

- Any user-specified folder locations for storing Part Programs, Probes, Subroutines, and so on

##### Windows Vista/7/8

- C:\ProgramData\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013

- C:\Users\Public\Documents\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013

- C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013

- Any user-specified folder locations for storing Part Programs, Probes, Subroutines, and so on

### Registry

Use RegistryVersion in the endings for these registry Keys. If a minor version, use a format of: YYYY_MRn where YYYY is the major version and n is the minor version number.

All of these versions have their own registry settings, stored in a version-specific Key. The items shown below are for the 2013 Release.

##### X86 OS

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ WAI\PC-DMIS\2013 Key and all sub keys

- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013 and all sub keys

- HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013 and all sub keys

##### X64 OS

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013 Key and all sub keys

- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013 and all sub keys

- HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013 and all sub keys

NOTES:

- The first time you run a new version, PC-DMIS automatically copies the settings from the most recent version of PC-DMIS installed. For this to work, the first time you run PC-DMIS, it needs to run with Administrator privileges. During the installation, if you mark the Launch PC-DMIS check box in the setup wizard, it runs PC-DMIS as an Administrator and completes this first step.
  This initial migration automatically sets read, write, and create permissions on the registry for the relevant Keys.

- If you are using fixturing or laser sensors, the following registry keys are stored back one level:

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WAI\FxtServer

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WAI\PC-DMIS\NCSENSORSETTINGS

- It may be easier to just apply create/read/write privileges to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WAI\ key and all sub keys to cover these also.
