how to clean registry in Vista

Rajan,

Cleaning the registry is a very dangerous task and has lots of factors that
can affect where things are kept. If it is an MSI based setup the reminents
can be completely different than those of your typicall setup.exe. I would
not recommend you using anything other than the native uninstall for
applications.

Hello

If you do not know how to clean the registry then you do not have any business to do it and especially with any registry cleaner tools. You can mess up your computer to the point of not working.

hi,
i'm using an accounting software. that has three version . one is free
edition and another is standard version and the last one is delux version.
at first i used to try free version.. that was working fine and i did some
work on that for few days and later i bought the standard version as it had
more features of inventry control and accounting mathods.

at the time of installation i had some error message like runtime(.netframe
work not sure) so i installed on another computer and copied the whole
directory in vista installed laptop and it worked.. but as it was free
version the serial no. was different whic i wrote after i opened it from
vista installed laptop . i couldnt uninstall it so i deleted the whole
directory from C: drive and restared the pc and again copied the whole
directory from another Pc and NOW IT DIDN'T PROMPTED THE SERIAL NO BOX. SO I
COULDNT WRITE THE STANDARD EDITION SERIAL NO. it is still the free version
with less features.. i think it is due to registry files which are stored in
windwos ...

May be i'm wrong but this is what happened. I have tried the same on xp
based pc but installs properly therefore there is no problem..

i dont know how can i do it...any help is highly appreciated...
regards

You still probably won't be able to install them as it appears it is
your software that's not compatible.
