    Hello Michaelyu

     

    If I read the error message right it has some issues with the installation. Three possible reasons come to my mind. 
    1st: The client is not installed correctly.

            reinstall/unistall/Install new?

    2nd: The registry key the process tries to read needs higher permissions.

            Run as administrator?

    And of course any typo in the path etc are also possible.

    Good luck!

    Cheers
    Rolf
