Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1B
Progress 9.1C
SYMPTOM(s):
Error when starting Progress Explorer.
Snap-In Failed to Initialize
CHANGE:
Uninstalled Progress 9.1B
CAUSE:
This error has occurred when Progress 9.1B and Progress 9.1C were both installed locally on the same machine, and the Progress 9.1B installation was removed.
Progress 9.1B and Progress 9.1C share the same registry keys that define the Progress Explorer snap-in. When the 9.1B installation was removed, the registry keys required by the Progress Explorer (9.1C) are also removed thus resulting in the "Snap in failed to Initialize error.
FIX:
The logical solution is to Uninstall / Reinstall Progress 9.1C. This solution offers a second solution that does not require a re-install of Progress 9.1C.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please always make sure that a current backup of the registry has been taken prior to making any changes.
STEPS:
1) Copy the example .reg file below into a text editor and save it as a .reg file.
2) Edit the lines mentioned in the comments between the lines in the example, then remove the comments before saving it.

3) Import the keys and values of the .reg file into the Windows registry by double-clicking the file.
Now, Explorer should start up again, if it does not show the server(s) that were previously defined, redefine the server(s) again.
