Windows Registry

Applications built with Version 1.1 of the Broker will now use the Windows Registry to store the available servers and ports accessed via the Broker.

The Windows Registry replaces the [RPCBroker_Servers] section of the VISTA.INI file. The VISTA.INI file will no longer be used by applications built with Version 1.1 of the Broker. However, this file will continue to be used by applications built using version 1.0 of the Broker (e.g., PCMM). During the installation of the Broker relevant data from the VISTA.INI file will be moved to the Windows Registry. Subsequent reads and writes will be done via the Registry.

information icon The VISTA.INI file created with Broker V. 1.0 must not be removed from the Windows directory on the client workstation. It is still required for 16-bit Broker-based applications created using version 1.0 of the Broker (e.g., PCMM).
