Groovy Shell warning “Could not open/create prefs root node …”

by

Dennis answer is correct. However I would like to explain the solution in a bit more detailed way (for Windows User):

  1. Go into your Start Menu and type regedit into the search field.
  2. Navigate to path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft (Windows 10 seems to now have this here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft)
  3. Right click on the JavaSoft folder and click on New -> Key
  4. Name the new Key Prefs and everything should work.

Alternatively, save and execute a *.reg file with the following content:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs]
