In addition, to avoid the virtualization message, it is sometimes helpful when running the PrintBoss setup program to use the UNC path rather than a mapped drive. Also, for some, moving setup out of the PrintBoss folder to the desk top also helps. Please note that users do need Read access at a minimum to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Wellspring\Software\PrintBoss.

According to Microsoft, the registry becomes virtualized when the user does not have sufficient rights to the registry. PrintBoss includes a script that produces the Virturalized Registry message when it cannot write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software.
From Microsoft:
"Registry virtualization is enabled only for the following:
•32-bit interactive processes.
•Keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software.
•Keys that an administrator can write to. (If an administrator cannot write to a key, then the application would have failed on previous versions of Windows even if it was run by an administrator.)
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa965884(VS.85).aspx"
Turning off the UAC will disable the registry virtualization function.

The computer will need to be restarted after the User Account Controls are turned off.
