Hi is it possible to export all uiview32 settings to another PC if so how?.

Partially.... Grabbing uiview32.ini and UIreg.bin in the main folder of the old machine, and copying them to the corresponding location on the new machine will sort-of move most of them. However UIview32.ini (located in the main folder ot the UIview setup) contains about a half-dozen absolute path references to components of UIview. If the folder path on the new machine isn't EXACTLY the same as on the old one, you will have to open UIview32.ini in a basic text editor and change these paths to match the new machine.


The best way however is to:

1) Cold-install UIview32-2.03 on the new machine. This causes all of the dozens of entries in the Windows Registry related to UIview to be created. Don't run it after install.
If this is a post-XP machine, DO NOT accept the proposed default path ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Peak Systems\etc ). Install in a folder directly off the off the root such as C:\UIview32 .

2) Enter the resulting new UIivew program folder and DELETE EVERYTHING. But keep the now-empty folder.

3) Copy/Paste everything from your old UIview installation (via network, flash drive, portable hard drive, etc) to the new folder.

4) If you are using the PMap Server or maps in a defined external "Extra Maps" folder, copy/paste these to matching locations on the new machine.

5) if the directory path to UIview on the new machine is different from the old machine (i.e. you are moving an old XP install to a new Win7 or Win10 install), you will have to open the file UIview32.ini (located in the main UIview folder) with a basic text editor such as Windows Notepad. Find/replace every reference to the original location of UIview and replace them with the path on the new machine. (There are about half a dozen absolute path references to various components of UIview inside UIview32.ini,)

I.e. it is now NOT POSSIBLE to activate Precision Mapping in the normal
way.
However there are work-arounds.


1) If you only want to use Precision Mapping 9 with UIview and the PMap
9
Server plugin (i.e. not use the program stand-alone outside of UIview
32), you
don't need to do anything. Even the "un-activated" Precision Mapping
database
will work inside UIview. Install Precision Mapping the usual way, but
ignore
the prompt to register the program the first time it is run. You can then
run
the PMap Data with UIview indefinitely.


2) The Windows Registry is the vast and inscrutable database that contains
information about everything ever added to the Windows system. It
includes
data and user preferences for every program on the system. It contains
data and
user settings about every piece of hardware installed on the system and
far
more. You see tiny excerpts of the Registry displayed to the user when
you
use the Windows Device Manager, Windows Scheduler, Sound Controls, etc.
Everytime, you install a program that requires a registration key or
activation
code, almost always the "magic numbers" you enter into the program are
stashed
away in the the Registry.

[A rare exception is UIview when you complete the setup by entering your
callsign, name and registration code during the first-time setup. UIview
stores
this info in the file "UIreg.bin" located in the program's own folder,
rather
than in the registry. However, the vast majority of Windows programs
stash
this kind of license data in the registry, often in encrypted format.]

For Precision Mapping 9.0, add the following lines to the Windows

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\CtrlSoftM7]
"CLSID1309P"=""

Open a basic text editor like Windows Notepad or similar. Copy/paste
the
lines above into it. Save the file as something like "Pmap9.reg" . Be
sure
the file name does NOT have the normal extension .TXT. and ensure the
file
is saved in basic raw text format; i.e. not as a Word document or similar.

.REG files are basic text files, but have the "magical" property of being
treated differently by Windows. Double-clicking a file ending in .TXT
normally makes it open in Notepad or WordPad. Double-clicking a .REG file
causes Windows to try to add it to the Windows Registry. It will only
process
the entry, if it meets the exact structure shown above.

From the Windows File Explorer, RIGHT-click the file, and choose
"Merge...".
This reads the file entries into the Windows Registry.

Each time you start the stand-alone Precision Mapping, it will prompt to
register. Dismiss the prompt and continue with the program. This will
happen
indefinitely. This workaround works on all flavors of Windows from Windows
2000
to the latest Win 10.
