Hi all,
i have an XP box with two disks C & D with svs21 installed. I changed the fslrdr location to drive D: because D: is my data disk (c is system) and it is saved daily. All worked perfectly until i had to reformat my system c: drive.
I now have all my nice & preciously backed up layers in the fslrdr forder of the D: drive but i discovered that i am now missing the data from the registry of the c drive. Is there a way to rebuild that data so that i can reuse the apps in my fslrdr folders but with a new install of svs ???
Help ! :-(
which part of the
which part of the layer registry did you loose? the virtualized part (laid down by the virtualized app) cannot be recovered. The layer meta data (that contains info like the name, GUID and excludes) could be recreated by scratch by just copying information from a new layer and making some changes.

i have lost all that was in
i have lost all that was in the registry of the host system:
- hklm/system/altiris
- hklm/software/fslrdr
are you telling me that the fslrdr directory is not enough to rebuild the application because the registry part is not saved anywhere ? (please say no !?)
hklm/system/altiris can be
hklm/system/altiris can be rebuild
- hklm/software/fslrdr cannot.
Unless you're using SWV 6.1 SP1 the FSLRDR (file redirect) is not enough to rebuild a layer because in 6.1 SP1 we do dynamic hive mounting so the registry redirect area is stored as a .REG file and not a permanent part of the registry.
But I can tell from the locations you pasted you're not using SP1 because of those changed in that version.
