    I have this installation - see attached screenshot

    DevExpress Support Team 7 years ago

      Thank you for the clarification.

      It may have happened due to Windows policies or some other factors that have banned our installation software from accessing the Windows registry. Normally, the installation wizard creates a new key under the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dxdemo\shell\open\command path.

      That key stores the path to the DevExpress Demo Center and its default value is
      "C:\Users\Public\Documents\DevExpress Demos 18.2\Components\Components\Bin\DevExpress.DemoCenter.v18.2.exe" %1

      Could you please check if you have such a key (to browse the registry, press "Ctrl+R" and type in the "regedit" command) and whether it stores a correct Demo Center path? In case there is no such key, I've attached a .reg file that adds the required key to the Windows Registry.

        Thanks James

        There was no such key in my PC registry
        * ran dxdeemo.reg
        * key was added
        * with Default value "URL: DXDEMO Protocol"

        I modified default value to "C:\Users\Public\Documents\DevExpress Demos 16.2\Components\Components\Bin\DevExpress.DemoCenter.v16.2.exe" %1
        * See attached screemsnot
        * demo failed to open

        Hello Andrew,

        DemoCenter handles demo links starting from version 17.1. Unfortunately, DemoCenter v16.2 does not support this capability.

        Thank you, Alex.
