Make sure to backup everything before proceeding and note your registry settings.
Note that some options may not be required if you're simply doing a fresh Windows install while retaining kiosk data.
- Backup the following files:
haldata.vdb3hal.xmlinventory.dataprofile.datasystem.configRedbox.Rental.Services.dll
- Export registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Redbox\REDS\Kiosk Engine\Store
- Edit KioskID and market in the above registry key
- Reference KioskIDs and addresses from
profile.data > Store table
- Update system.config, replacing all old Kiosk ID values with the new one
- Install a fresh kiosk image on the new PC
- Alternatively, you can do a fresh Windows install and perform a Store install. Use the appropriate installer for your OS, as well as a recent data.zip.
- Replace the same files with the backed-up ones
- Install the registry key
- If you're migrating from 32-bit to 64-bit, you may need to edit the .reg file to have a different path. Check regedit before installing the key to see if Redbox's registry keys are installed in a WOW6432Node folder. If so, you'll need to adjust the paths within the registry key to reflect this.
- Open Device Manager
- Assign COM ports to match the old setup:
- RS232 Port (Serial) → COM1
- Protenus board → COM3
- Ingenico Card Reader → COM5
- Shut down the PC
- Mount it into the kiosk hardware
- Power on system
- Confirm KioskEngine loads
- Open Device Manager → Camera Devices
- If Microsoft default driver is installed, replace it
- Install AVEO x64 (4th Gen) drivers (from Discord)
- Open HAL Tester → Configure Devices → Survey Hardware
- Verify camera detection (compare with screenshot from old kiosk)
- Open HAL Tester
- Insert a disc into the gripper (aligned with camera)
- Open Camera Settings → Preview
- Adjust settings until image is clear and readable
- Example: lower Gamma for clarity
