How to edit value in C++Builder Registry?

I use C++Builder XE2 and want to use the Console Application wizard, but it is broken. I have read Create Win32 application in C++Builder XE5, and see I need to set the following value in the Registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\<version>\Repository\New Console Application

(REG_SZ) "ConsoleApp" = "True" or "False"

But I don't know where to enter that.

Solution

  • Run Windows' built-in Registry Editor, regedit.exe (Start > Run > type regedit > press Enter, answer Yes if prompted).

    In the left-hand pane, navigate down to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\9.0\Repository\New Console Application key.

    In the right-hand pane, if ConsoleApp does not already exist, right-click in a blank area (or use the "Edit" menu in the upper toolbar), choose "New > String value", and enter ConsoleApp.

    Now double-click on ConsoleApp and type True or False as needed.

    The change will take effect the next time the Console Application wizard is opened.
