Theonly other really notable thing about registering reference works is that there are volume discounts for the registration fees that apply if there are more than 250 entries registered for a single reference work in a given quarter.

Now I have a need to display user profiles on the front-end as well as allow users to upgrade their own profiles. My solution to this was to use GravityView but here is where things ground to a halt: GravityView cannot see users that do NOT have entries in the user registration form.


What I need: I need a way to import my existing WP users as User Registration Entries while also NOT duplicating them in the system (or changing their passwords, if possible).


And then use Gravity View import entries plugin to import the CSV data. The gravity view import entries plugin allows you to use an existing form and you can trigger your update user feed for that form.


If you create a separate form with a user registration update type feed the mapped fields on that form will be populated with the logged in user details and will update the user with the submitted values.


To make matters even more complex for you, you can always use Gravity Flow form connector extension to just update the user registration feed with the entry data of the update user form you recently created.


So basically after you import the data for the update user form, you can update the original user registration form with the form connector extension. You can add new fields to the user registration form as well and update those fields.


Qualifier registration will open on Monday, September 9 at 10:00 a.m. ET and will close on Friday, September 13, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. ET within Athletes' Village. Any athlete who has achieved a currently valid Boston Marathon qualifying time may submit a registration application during Registration Week, September 9-13.


In an effort to enhance the Boston Marathon registration experience, the B.A.A. is offering a special pre-verification period beginning July 1 for 129th Boston Marathon qualifying times. Athletes who plan to register for the 129th Boston Marathon presented by Bank of America between September 9-13 may take part in this pre-verification, helping to expedite your registration application in September.


The 2025 Boston Marathon qualifying window began on September 1, 2023, and will close at 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, September 13. If space is still available after the conclusion of Registration Week, registration will re-open on Monday, September 16.


Athletes who have currently active finisher streaks of 10 or more Boston Marathons will have an opportunity to register early between August 26-30, 2024. More details will be sent to these athletes over the summer months.


The qualifying window for the 130th Boston Marathon, scheduled to take place on April 20, 2026, will begin on September 1, 2024. Registration details for that race will be announced following the 2025 Boston Marathon.


The times listed here will serve as non-binary qualifying times, as they are inclusive of the qualifying times for the two existing men's and women's divisions. As we prepare for future races, participants can expect non-binary times to be updated accordingly.


Athletes' Village features free monthly challenges, paid training programs, and a community to connect with fellow runners! It is also your central location for B.A.A. race & volunteer history, results, updates, registration.


I need to develop a process that will detect if the users computer has certain programs installed and if so, what version. I believe I will need a list with the registry location and keys to look for and feed it to the program which is not a problem. Is there a better way to accomplish this?


My first thought was to check in the registry in the uninstallation entries but it seems one of the apps I wish to detect does not have one. What is the standard location for all registry using applications to make an entry in?


User-specific settings should be written to HKCU\Software, machine-specific settings to HKLM\Software. Under these keys, structure [software vendor name]\[application name] (e.g. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer) may be the most common, but that's just a convention, not a law of nature.


These are the most important keys; however, contents of the registry do not have to represent the installed software exactly - maybe the application was installed once, but then was manually deleted, or maybe the uninstaller didn't remove all traces of it. If you want to be sure, check the filesystem to see if the application still exists where its registry entries say it is.


Note: As @Brian Ensink says, "installed" is a bit of a vague concept - are we trying to find what the user could run? Some software doesn't even write to the Registry at all: search for "portable apps" to see apps that have been specifically modified to run directly from media (CD/USB) and not to leave any traces on the computer. We may also have to scan the disks, and network disks, and anything the user downloads, and world-accessible Windows shares in the Internet (yes, such things exist legitimately - \\live.sysinternals.com\tools comes to mind). In this direction, there's no real limit of what the user can run, unless prevented by system policies.


You could use MSI API to enumerate everything installed by Windows Installer but that won't list all the software available on a machine. Without knowing more about what you need I think the concept of "installed" is a little vague. There are many ways to deploy software to a system ranging from big complicated installers to ZIP files and everything in between.


An application does not need to have any registry entry. In fact, many applications do not need to be installed at all. U3 USB sticks are a good example; the programs on them just run from the file system.


As noted, most good applications can be found via their uninstall registry key though. This is actually a pair of keys, per-user and per-machine (HKCU/HKLM - Piskvor mentioned only the HKLM one). It does not (always) give you the install directory, though.


If it's in HKCU, then you have to realise that HKEY_CURRENT_USER really means "Current User". Other users have their own HKCU entries, and their own installed software. You can't find that. Reading every HKEY_USERS hive is a disaster on corporate networks with roaming profiles. You really don't want to fetch 1000 accounts from your remote [USChinaEurope] office.


Even if an application is installed, and you know where, it may not have the same "version" notion you have. The best source is the "version" resource in the executables. That's indeed a plural, so you have to find all of them, extract version resources from all and in case of a conflict decid on something reasonable.


You can use a PowerShell script to look at registers and get the installed program details. The script bellow will generate a file with the complete list of installed programs. Save it with ".ps" extension and double click the file.


Run Once. By default, Workspace Environment Management creates registry entries every time the agent refreshes. Select this check box to make Workspace Environment Management create the registry entry only once - on the first refresh - rather than on every refresh. This speeds up the agent refresh process, especially if you have many registry entries assigned to your users.


To avoid the limitations, we recommend that you import your registry files to WEM by using the Import Registry File option in Group Policy Settings. For more information, see Import Group Policy settings from registry files.


Registry File Name. Populates automatically after you navigate to a .reg file and click Open. The .reg file contains registry settings you want to import into WEM. The .reg file must be generated from a clean environment to which only the registry settings you want to import are applied.


The wizard cannot import registry entries with the same names. If your .reg file contains more than one registry entry that has the same name (as displayed in the Registry Values List), select one of those entries for import. If you want to import the others, rename them.


The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database that stores low-level settings for the Microsoft Windows operating system and for applications that opt to use the registry. The kernel, device drivers, services, Security Accounts Manager, and user interfaces can all use the registry. The registry also allows access to counters for profiling system performance.


In other words, the registry or Windows Registry contains information, settings, options, and other values for programs and hardware installed on all versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. For example, when a program is installed, a new subkey containing settings such as a program's location, its version, and how to start the program, are all added to the Windows Registry.


When introduced with Windows 3.1, the Windows Registry primarily stored configuration information for COM-based components. Windows 95 and Windows NT extended its use to rationalize and centralize the information in the profusion of INI files, which held the configurations for individual programs, and were stored at various locations.[1][2] It is not a requirement for Windows applications to use the Windows Registry. For example, .NET Framework applications use XML files for configuration, while portable applications usually keep their configuration files with their executables.
