What can happen is if the original Progress installation was done by one user and then later re-installed by another, the path for the current user logged in may not be correct and may not match what is in HKLM.

The pathways typically should appear as below, note that your Progress installation may be in another drive other than C. The key piece here is the install path key for the dlc folder:
