cproudlock 7af66575d0 CMM: gocmm-debug - capture the real startup NRE (PC-DMIS COM not registered)
debug.log from the bay shows the part group enumerates fine (14 .geop files
opened), then goCMM connects to PC-DMIS over COM and throws:

  System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: type
     at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type)
     at GEAE.Common.CMM.CMMInterfaces.PCDMIS.PCDMIS.<ConnectToSoftware>b__43_0()
  -> System.NullReferenceException at ConnectToSoftware(...)

Root cause: PC-DMIS automation server is not COM-registered, so
Type.GetTypeFromProgID returns null -> CreateInstance(null) throws -> the NRE
is the downstream symptom. Not part-group, not permissions, not calibration.

- PROBE 4: pull the .NET Runtime / Application Error crash stack for goCMM from
  the Application log so the next run captures the null in one shot.
- PROBE 5: (a) part-group UNC reachability; (b) PC-DMIS COM registration check
  (PCDLRN.* ProgID -> CLSID -> LocalServer32) that names the missing registration
  and the Pcdlrn.exe /regserver fix; plus install presence for context.
- .bat header documents the COM root cause.

# gocmm-debug.ps1 - diagnose goCMM "Requested registry access is not allowed" post-lockdown.
#
# RUN AS THE OPERATOR (the locked-down shop-floor user), NOT elevated / not "Run as administrator".
# Elevation would falsely succeed (admins have write) and hide the bug.
#
# Root cause being tested: goCMM's GEA_OFI_Common.RegistrySettings.GetRegistryString opens
# HKLM\Software\General Electric\goCMM with writable:TRUE even to READ a value. goCMM is
# 32-bit, so that redirects to HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\General Electric\goCMM. If the
# operator lacks WRITE on that key (lockdown stripped the BUILTIN\Users grant), the open throws.
#
# Output: C:\Logs\CMM\gocmm-debug-<PC>-<timestamp>.txt (pull this back for review)
