Hello!
Does anyone know where the menus are saved in the registry for delphi 6?
I still cannot get the event viewer up, and dont know how to do a regsitry
only setup of Delphi.
I really do not want to reinstall Delphi, especially as there is no
guarentee that will solve the problem.
I have tried to add the option to the menu by using the customize option.
That does not work because the event viewer does not show up as an available
option. This is really getting annoying now
Has anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
Paul
 

There is no place in the registry that specifies the location or visibility of Debug Event
log view window. It is "opened" by selecting "View | Debug Windows | Event Log" but even
then it could have been last saved while visible but off screen. That case you will need
to edit the delphi32.dsk file in the your C:\Program files\Borland\Delphi7\bin directory
and search file the section labeled "DebugLogView" and either delete the whole section or
correct the Left and Top values so it will appear on screen the next time you reset the
IDE.

Hi Dennis
I will take a look at the file in a min
The problem I have is that this option does not even appear on my menu

on the installation newsgroup if you need help with that.
Packages, where X is your Delphi version. The list should include the
following BPLs: dphide, dphpro, proide, stride. Their exact names will
depend on your Delphi version. Some of the debugging tools are provided
by those packages, so your IDE needs to know about them.
