The SAPDB documentation states that the Windows registry is used to store settings, but doesn't say where. I have discovered that although SAPDB entries are placed in many areas of the registry, the main areas are:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP ... which includes the database definitions: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAP DBTech\Applications\Database Manager\Databases ... and also an entry for every defined database in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SAP_DBTECH-* These last entries are locked, and persist even after the database is deleted and SAPDB is deinstalled. People (like me) who have difficulty reinstalling over a problematic SAPDB installation find themselves stuck with the old problems hidden in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SAP_DBTECH-xx x, where xxx is the database name. Is there a script to completely purge *all* SAPDB registry entries? I need to perform a clean SAPDB installation on a Windows machine that had SAPDB installed, but doesn't behave properly.
