Missing Core Application File

[BeetleBailey]

I seem to be having a problem with my Registry Mechanic.

I try to do a scan and I get this error msg:

"Registry Mechanic is missing core application files: data/map.dat
Please Reinstall"

It identifies where the location of the file is supposed to be and when I check that location the file IS there.

I've Reinstalled 5 times but I keep getting the error message.:mad:

Any ideas???

Hi BeetleBailey,

For Registry Mechanic to function and perform its processes correctly on other language versions of Windows, Registry Mechanic would require to capable in running in a unicode environment, at this point of time Registry Mechanic developers are working on to release Registry Mechanic that operates correctly in an unicode environment.

For more information on unicode please visit the site below.

http://www.unicode.org/

Please confirm if you have East-Asian or English language version of windows installed on your computer or other Asian language add on?

Can you please check the following details of your system.

Click Start>Settings>Control Panel and open 'Regional Language Options'

1. Click on Regional Options tab and note the Language used under "Standards and Formats"

2. Click on Advance tab and note the language used under "Language used for Non-Unicode Programs"


If under the Advance tab, you have selected a language other that English. Please try and change this to "US English" as this would resolve the problem.

In the meantime if you do have an East-Asian version of Windows, the previous version of Registry Mechanic (Registry Mechanic version 5.0) will work on your system without getting the error message. If you do not have the program or setup file for Registry Mechanic 5.0, this can be downloaded from the link below.

Registry Mechanic 5.0:

I hope this helps.

Thank you AChen for your reply.

As soon as I posted the message I remembered that I had changed the Unicode settings for my wife who is from Korea. I went back and changed the settings back to English to see if that was the problem and it was.;)

You might want to post this problem in your FAQ's.

Thank you,
