Issue installing for multiple users #22

The File Converter option is missing from the system menu for new users on the machine. Application works for the user who installed the application but not for other user's accounts. Is there something I can add to the default user registry to enable functionality for new users? The application is installed just not functional. Each user must uninstall and reinstall to gain functions.
Thank you for a very simple and very powerful tool!

I was able to make this work by coping all of the hku fileconverter entries into the default ntuser.dat hive. Works great!

Hi thanks for the feedback, I will look at that to have a more user-friendly solution in the future.
I'm glad you like the soft :)

Just figured it out thanks to ChrisDNilsson's solution. Here's a breakdown:

  • login to the account where you installed File-Converter
  • run 'regedit.exe'
  • search for the following folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Fileconverter
  • right click on the folder and select 'export'
  • save the file somewhere
  • log out and login to the user who doesn't have access yet
  • double click on the export-file to add it to the registry
  • that should do the trick

good luck!

This works for me.

I would like to point out that if installing on a standard user and not an administrator the presets are not visible.
You have to do the registry Export/Import option.
Please fix this or add an option to install as the current user without admin rights (per user option)
Please add support for WMV output format.
