Title: RTP Located in Windows 7 (Registry)?
Post by: G_G on April 26, 2011, 06:30:31 pm
I cannot for the life of me find where the RTP is stored in the registry. I've found
Current User > Software > Enterbrain > RGSS: However, RGSS has no child keys or anything.

Any idea?
I'm running Windows 7 x64

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Enterbrain

There are two subfolders here with values: RGSS, which contains the RTP path/value, and RPGXP, which contains the value for the installation path.

Thanks F0. ^__^

Thanks to you, I now have a portable version of RMXP. All I gotta do is run the registry file on any computer, then open up RMXP from my flash drive.

Basically, my registry file sets the location to my flash drive.

EDIT: Just in case, where would the 32 bit be located?

If I remember correctly, it is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Enterbrain

Its just a registry key. You install RMXP on a flash, and include the file registry file that GG made. You simply run the key file, which will add the values to the registry, telling the computer to look on the flash for the game.

@G_G:
How did you compensate for the fact that the flash will use different drive letters on different PCs?

Working on a config app that generates it for you. Checks for 32-bit and 64-bit and generates a reg file.

Nice.
I thought you just wrote a key file, which would work if you knew the target computer. Of course, a quick edit to the key file to change the drive letter wouldn't be to difficult, but automatic programs are always more convenient.  :)
