How can I configure Mercurial to pop up a merguing program when 2 heads conflicts and a human merguing is required?
Im using Mercurial and HgSccPackage with Visual Studio. For merging and comparing im using Devart's CodeCompare.
The log shows:
[Pull started]

In your settings, you are defining two tools, but have only successfully specified the path for one.
You have defined codecompare as an external diff tool. I am assuming that it is working correctly when you try to look at a difference between two versions of a file e.g. hg codecompare -r "tip^:tip" file.txt
The second tool is codecompare_merge which you have defined the install location using the set of keys:
codecompare_merge.regkey=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\CodeCompare_is1
codecompare_merge.regname=InstallLocation
codecompare_merge.regappend=CodeMerge.exe
This tells hg to look in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER (and then HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) for the regkey Install Location and then appends CodeMerge.exe to it to get the executable path. My guess is that there is an error somewhere there.
You should be able to replace those three settings with the following to match the setting in the diff section:
codecompare_merge.executeable=C:\Program Files\Devart\Code Compare\CodeCompare.exe
