If receiving an “Exception eOleSysError in module WindowardPOS.exe at xxxxxxxx. Error accessing the OLE registry.” message as seen below. Follow the instructions in this article to resolve.
The first time you log in to a freshly installed Windward System5 on a Windows 10 computer, you will get the error above. This means that 1 of the software components (WindwardPOS.exe) is not properly registered in Windows.
WindwardPOS Device Manager is a small application that comes with the software that handles some of the POS devices like (Pole / Customer Display, Cash Drawer, etc). So this is an important application for front tills or cash registers. It may not be needed for back-office computers but we should really fix the error and it's easy.
System5 should not load or open, if it does then this did not work. What it does is simply register System5 in the windows registry. Then you can take out “/regserver” from the shortcut and run System5 normally.
NOTE: You will get another error pop here but that's OK, we are expecting that. Just click on the “YES” button and logout of System5.
