    The SODE 1.5.3 Platform manager is giving an error…

    [P3Dv4] The Registry holds an invalid path to your Prepar3D.exe!

    It shows the Platform Installation Path as E:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\, whilst the actual path is D:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ I checked the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 and this has 2 keys within it, License and SetupPath, the later correctly points to D:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ Can you tell me which registry entry the SODE is looking at?

    The P3Dv4 sim used to be on the E: drive, but several weeks ago, I uninstalled the sim from E: and installed it on the D: drive.

    I’ll answer my own question…

    I was looking in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4, but the actual path being checked by SODE in my 64-bit Windows 10 is HKLM\WOW6432Node\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4. The SetupPath here did indeed contain a reference to the old P3Dv4 location on the E drive, but after correcting this, the error message in SODE disappeared.
