Natural 9.1.1 HF004 running on Windows 10. “Plug-in Manager” no longer appears on the Configuration Tools sub-menu. Is there a way to restore the entry without un-installing & re-installing Natural? Unregistering and re-registering the default plug-ins, followed by a system restart, did not resolve the issue. ---

Hi Ralph, Did you try using the “Update Manager” to apply more current fixes? I’m not sure about HF004, but my install of v9.1.1 HF006 does include the Plug-in Manager. Thanks, Chad. ---

and of course after I sent that first message I remembered this: Description: The Plug-in Manager tool is missing on any machine installed with Windows 10 1803 build. Reverting back to Windows 10 1709 build reestablishes the Plug-in Manager. Resolution: The installation log file and sysplman\_add.reg.txt doesn’t show any problems with the registry keys. So the recommendation is to do the following workaround: 1. Terminate all running Natural sessions. 2. Open a command prompt by starting “C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe” with “Run As Administrator”. (Note 1: It is necessary to start cmd.exe from SysWOW64, because we need a 32bit command prompt.) (Note 2: It is necessary to start it with “Run As Administrator” to allow the change of registry keys.) 1. Execute the following command in the Command prompt: regedit /s “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Software AG\Natural\V1\fnat\SYSPLMAN\RES\sysplman\_del.reg” 2. Execute the following command in the Command prompt: regedit /s “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Software AG\Natural\V1\fnat\SYSPLMAN\RES\sysplman\_add.reg” 3. Start Natural again. With these steps the Plugin Manager should be visible. ---

Thanks, Chad. Months ago we installed Natural on two dozen laptops. This is our first issue with 9.1.1.4. My machine has Win10 build 1802, so I presume that the others have the same (from the same image). As part of the installation we added two homegrown plug-ins, so someone would have noticed if Plug-in Manger was missing at the outset. My “unregistering and re-registering the default plug-ins” was intended to do what you recommend, but it applies regedit to all 17 SAG-supplied plug-ins, not just Plug-in Manager. Perhaps I didn’t “run as administrator.” I’ll try the registration process again. ---
