Before you begin 

ETRegister.exe does the following:

1. Registers ActiveX Controls.
2. Registers .Net Assemblies.
3. Tweaks database access via registry settings.
4. Grants permission to run .Net applications from the shared folder.
5. Adds required URLs to the IE Safe Sites Zone by adding keys to the registry into HKCU (HKEY_CURRENT_USER) .

You'll need to run this utility after major updates, changes to credit card processing, adding a new terminal, or changing servers or software folders or any time you get the Class Not Registered error.

Traditional Network Client/Server configuration:

• SERVER / CLIENT
  ETRegister.exe must be run once as an administrator on each client computer. This will allow registration of components and registry changes outside of HKCU.


• CLIENT
  If multiple Windows Users log in to a client computer, each Windows user on the client computer will need to run ETRegister.exe. This can be done with without elevated admin credentials since all it needs to do is add required URLs to the IE Safe Sites Zone, which resides in the registry in HKCU.

​

Remote Desktop Services or Execu/Tech Cloud Hosting Service environment:

• SERVER
  At the server, ETRegister.exe must be run with Administrator permissions. This will allow registration of components and registry changes outside of HKCU.
  
  
• CLIENT
  This step must be done to allow credit card processing to function properly.
  Each client / user session will need to run ETRegister.exe, but it doesn't require Administrator permissions. This must be run while logged in as the user who will process credit cards. Administrator permissions aren't required because all it needs to do is add required URLs to the IE Safe Sites Zone, which resides in the registry in HKCU.

Click "Continue" if you see the message, "You're running WITHOUT Windows Administrator Permissions."

Run ETRegister 

There are two methods of running this application:

1. from the software menu
2. from the software folder

1. Run from the software menu

    

   In the PMS application, go to File > Special > Register Programs and Controls. *If you use a different style menu without this option, or nothing happens when you click on the option, try the second method.
   
   
   
   In the POS application, from the POS Administrator Menu go to System > Register Programs and Controls. *If your POS Administrator menu doesn't have this option, you're running an older version and must use the second method.
   
   

    

   If nothing happens when you click "Register Programs and Controls", you must use the second method. Security settings are preventing the PMS or POS application from running it.




2. From the software folder
   
   Run this utility by browsing to the software folder on the server, right click it and select "Run as Administrator".
