Can't hide Planning Wizard - Microsoft Project 2013
We are preparing to move from Office/Project 2010 to 2013. So far the config for Office has gone well but I am currently stuck with trying to hide the Planning Wizard prompt when Project 2013 is opened for the first time. I have tried the solutions given in this post (http://www.itninja.com/question/planning-wizard-microsoft-project-2010) however, it doesn't appear to be working for me in this instance.
I first tried installing Project 2013, which is configured to unisntall 2010 if it exists, and then added the registry keys manually afterwards before opening Project. No luck. then I tried importing the keys into the MSP file for Project 2013 so they would be applied during the installtion. Still no luck. The keys appear in the registry but do not seem to have any affect when I launch the application.
Any ideas?

You are probably right. We have decided that we will let the prompt show for users and let them decide on whether or not they want to carry over previous settings or start fresh. We debated it and are of the opinion that, at least in our situation, it's not a big issue.
Thank you all for the help and replies. Much appreciated. - quattro004 10 years ago
Here is the exact text from the registry file I have tried to add manually after the install and import into the MSP.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\MS Project\Options\PlanningWizard]
"PlanningWizard Cases"="11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111"
"Display PlanningWizard"=dword:00000000
I should have mentioned I had changed the path to account for 2013. Right now I am installing as the user so there is not service account in the way at this point. We use SCCM 2012 to deploy and thus far, I haven't had issues adding CU registry keys to Office 2013 and deploying via SCCM which uses its own account to run the install.
