windows_read_data_files_in_registry & layer manifest message when app is deployed

[Jean-Colas Prunier]

Hi everyone,

We've been testing Dawn on computers that had the Vulkan SDK deployed and when we ran the Dawn API based app we had no message.

Recently we started looking into deploying the app to other computers and we go this message right away.

Warning: windows_read_data_files_in_registry: Registry lookup failed to get layer manifest files.
Error: Disable Intel Vulkan adapter on Windows driver version 100.7642. See https://crbug.com/1338622.
 - While initializing adapter (backend=BackendType::Vulkan)
    at InitializeImpl (../../src/dawn/native/vulkan/AdapterVk.cpp:107)
    at Initialize (../../src/dawn/native/Adapter.cpp:38)

As these machines were a bit old we ran an update on them (drivers), but this didn't fix the message. When I ran vulkaninfo.exe I got this error message:

WARNING: [Loader Message] Code 0 : windows_read_data_files_in_registry: Registry lookup failed to get layer manifest files.

So it seemed like the Krhonos entry was missing in the registry and adding it fixed this warning, however now on these machines, when we run the Dawn-based app we get:

```

So clearly, something is being triggered about the validation layers. As I have been compiling Dawn without doing anything special other than following the steps, I wanted to know if there was something I had missed wtr to turning the validation layers in Vulkan on / off.

Thank you.

Never mind).

I ran VulanConfigurator and disabled Log Message for the Validation layers. And the messages went away. I will need to look into this registry thing but that's independent from Dawn. You can delete the thread if you want, but I will leave it here, in case some future users run into the same issue.
