5.3.2
Registering a Single Component
The HEW allows you to navigate directly to a single component in order to register it. The HEW Registration
File (*.HRF) is located in the root directory of a component’s installation.
To register a component:
1. Click the “Register…” button on the “Tools Administration” dialog. A standard file open dialog will be
launched with its file filter set to “HEW Registration Files (*.hrf)”.
2. Navigate to the .HRF file of the component you would like to register, select it and then click “Select”.
3. A dialog will be invoked which displays information regarding the selected tool. Click “Register” to
confirm that you want to register the tool or click “Close” to abort the operation.
5.4
Unregistering Components
The components, which are registered with the HEW, affect the way in which it behaves. For example, every
compatible system tool, which is registered, will be added to the tools menu when a new project is created.
Sometimes this may not be desirable. If so, open the “Tools Administration” dialog, select the component from
the “Registered components” list and then click the “Unregister” button. A dialog will be invoked which asks
you to confirm this action. Click “Yes” to confirm the action.
Note:
Unregistering a component does not remove its installation from hard disk. It simply removes the
information, which the HEW was storing about that component (i.e. it “disconnects” it from the HEW).
The action can be easily reversed at anytime by registering the tool (see above). If you want to remove a
component from the hard disk (i.e. uninstall a component) then refer to the section “Uninstalling
Components” later in this chapter.
