Note: on a 64bit system you will find this under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node

edit, here is a reg file for windows 64-bit:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Btrieve Technologies\Microkernel Workstation Engine\Version  6.15\Settings]
"Background Threads"=dword:0000000c
"Cache Size"=dword:00100000

Note: On newer systems, if you aren't running things as administrator and/or as a service, even after setting the above registry settings, it may not appear to work.

If you launch WGSERV\W32MKSET.EXE, you may find that values you set are not being utilized. you may find it is using the registry area of the UAC VIRTUALSTORE area here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Btrieve Technologies\Microkernel Workstation Engine\Version 6.15\Settings

This is an area of windows that is uses for legacy compatibility to redirect things you would normally need admin permissions for. If things are working for you and this is just a play/dev server, you can probably leave it that way. You can run WGSERV\W32MKSET.EXE to set the parameters and go about your life.

Otherwise, you may want to consider instructing windows not to use UAC/Virtual store for your WG setup.

To do this, firstly shut down WG, if running. Then, check the permissions of your WGSERV folder. Ensure administrators have full control of the folder but also give "users" modify or full control to that folder and all subfolders as well.

Next, for each of the following files, right-click and go to properties -> compatibility -> change compatibility for all users -> run program as administrator

• WGSERV\W32MKDE.EXE
• WGSERV\W32MKSET.EXE
• WGSERV\wgsappgo.EXE
• WGSERV\wgserver.exe

Next, check your task manager and kill W32MKDE.EXE if it's running.

Now the next time you run WG, or if you check W32MKSET.EXE, it should be using "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Btrieve Technologies\Microkernel Workstation Engine\Version 6.15\Settings" now.
