Problem Title:
DESIGN MANAGER/LOGIBLOX/etc... M1.5 versions of XILINX GUI-based programs issue an error
about an old version of the windu_registryd program (WS ONLY)
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description:
Starting up any Xilinx graphical application from a workstation command
line may issue one of the following two messages:
This application has detected an old version of the windu_registryd program
on this computer system. A new version of the windu_registryd program is
supplied as part of this release of the Xilinx software. Xilinx software
from previous releases will run with this new version of the windu_registryd
program. This application will now update the windu_registryd program.
Do you want to continue (y|n) [y]?

This application has detected an old version of the windu_registry file
on this computer system. A new version of the windu_registry file is
required by this release of the Xilinx software. This application will
now update the windu_registry file.
Do you want to continue (y|n) [y]?
Solution 1:
If the previous solutions don't help/apply, as a last resort, you can
try to bypass the registry checking that normally takes place by setting
both of the environment variables below:
setenv XIL_GUI_REGISTRYVERSIONCHECKING 0
setenv XIL_GUI_REGISTRYFORMATCHECKING 0
Solution 2:
Depending on if you had an old version of a the windu_registry program/file running on you computer
system (from a previous M1 release), the 1.5 graphical applications may require you to update your r
egistry information to a newer version compatible with the M1.5 software release.
Answer "y" when asked to continue, and a command should be executed to update your program/file.
In the event that the windu_registryd program/file cannot be updated successfully, please
try the following:
1. At your command prompt, type
"top" or
"ps -e | grep windu"
Look for all .windu_registry processes running, and kill each
one of them with the following command:
kill -9 <the process ID number>
NOTE: This will delete your Open Project List as well as your
File->Preferences settings. Both of these must re-specified once you enter M1.5.
2. Delete any .windu and/or .Windu directories in your home directory.
3. Re-run: perl $XILINX/bin/sol/update_registry.pl
Once the windu_registryd program/file has been successfully updated,
you should be able to run the Design Manager or other GUI-based
applications (ex - type "xilinx" or "epic").
Solution 3:
If the Design Manager fails to start on your UNIX machine due
to a hang/core dump, please reference (Xilinx Solution 1997)
