Predator CNC Editor was unable to connect to the template database...

Problem

The following error appears after updating Predator CNC Editor from a previous version. 

Reason

The latest version of Predator CNC Editor, along with many other Predator products, moved support files from C:\Program Files to C:\Predator Software. This requires some changes to honor the new paths. 

Solution

Modify the Windows Registry string for "TemplateDatabase" located in "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Predator\PEditor\Settings\" to point to the current template database location, this should be "C:\Predator Software\Editor\PEditor.mdb"
