Then you can just install the AlienSkin Xenofex 2.1 as usual from the setup. Then double click on it, and confirm the authorization to write into the registry. Write this text in Notepad and save as preinstall.reg in your document folder. Just check where your XARA is installed and copy/paste the path there WRITING ALWAYS THE \ TWICE and putting attention to write a final \\ I wrote Xara Xtreme Pro 5 in the XP version of the file just for example. Note that the text in BOLD should be your path where your version of XARA is installed.
"XaraX Root Dir"=" C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Xara\\Xara_Designer_Pro_7\\" Here is the contents for Windows7/Vista 64Bit: "XaraX Root Dir"=" C:\\Program Files\\Xara\\Xara Xtreme Pro 5\\" Here is the contents for XP (and theoretically 32bit Windows7/Vista): Based on the windows versione that you have 32bit/XP or 64bit you will need to write different info. In order to re-install the plug-in you need to manually write a text file with Notepad, and import it into the registry. Well, I will bypass the behind scene story of a whole day of mad technical investigations, and I will come up directly with the solution, because everyone, one day or the other, will have to install the plugin again, and then you will have the same problem. The AlienSkin Xenofex 2.1 plugin refused to install on my PC with the infamous "You need to have Xara Xtreme or Xara Xtreme Pro installed in order to install this version of Xenofer 2 !!". I have just received the new Xara Designer Pro 7 CD, and I installed it on a new PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 BIT.Īfter all I said years ago (up on this topic) I was convinced that I would have re-installed everything without problem. You will not have duplicated entries in the Xara Plugin combo.
Then you may run the AlienSkin Xenofer 2 setup package, that will run fine. Answer YES to the question "Are you sure that you want to add the information."Įxplore your Xara installation folder (normally: C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Xtreme Pro 5\Xara Picture Editor\PSplug-ins) and delete all files and folder related to "AlienSkin Xenofer 2" Open the folder where you saved the file and double click on it. Save the notepad file as "Xenofer.reg" and close the notepad. Just take care of having "C:\\Program Files\\Xara\\Xara Xtreme Pro" with the double "\\" and reflecting your actual XARA installation folder. "XaraX Root Dir"="C:\\Program Files\\Xara\\Xara Xtreme Pro 5" You may create your Registry entry in notepad just copying/pasting the following text: Once I have discovered what it was checking for, I simply added those keys on the registry, and the installation run successfully. The Xenofer installation checks for one of those entries and if it can not found it, it aborts the installation.

Alien Skin developers assume that Xara application write some entries in the registry during the installation.
