Missing ArcGIS registry key

MohammadAbuTahoun — Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:52:00 GMT

trying to create an arcgis windows mobile 6 application using the 10.2 windows mobile SDK.
currently I am using the sample that comes with the SDK "WM-Walkthrough",I get the error "Missing ArcGIS registry key" when the code reaches mobileCache1.Open();
I have installed the "AGMRuntime.CAB" on booth a simulator and a windows device and I still get the same message.

any help would be appreciated.

have you found an answer to this issue yet? I'm having the same problem.

It sounds like you may be facing a known issue with the Windows Mobile SDK 10.2:

NIM097317: A "Missing ArcGIS Registry Key" error occurs due to a registry key mismatch.

The current workaround is to create a new registry key, Mobile10.2.0, at the same place as the Mobile10.2. Here is an example of where that should be found:
(old) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ESRI\Mobile10.2\InstallDir
(new) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ESRI\Mobile10.2.0\InstallDir

Note that you must change the registry key on the Windows Mobile device as well.

Hope this helps!
