CFMapPoint v0.83 release - please give it a try!

**marshes** · 12-02-2006, 08:37 PM

Yes it does. Mappoint 2k6 works fine. I did not install active sync, (for palm or protablepc) or intigration with microsoft office products. Both CF, CFmappoint and Mappoint installed to default directories. I have tried every install order possible. I think...

Any other ideas? I have reinstalled CFmappoint with no luck.

You don't need Activesync for this to work, and the directories don't make a difference (I'm installed non-default), but you might need the MSO stuff. I'm trying to remember...

The underlying cause is that CFMP can't find a certain file that it needs in order to launch MP. The "registration" comment isn't about a "license" type registration, it's a reference to MP not "registering" with Windows so that other modules can find it. CFMP doesn't look in a specific spot for the module, it asks Windows where it is. This is the "registration" thing, and that leads me to think that CFMP is depending on the MSO module.

Paul (the CFMP developer) isn't around a lot right now... And I can't help much more than trying to remember what I did.

I did just go through building a new system from the ground up and it's working fine. I'm pretty sure I did CF, then MP taking all defaults 'cept for the target directory, then CFMP.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try the microsoft integration thing tonight and get back on the results for anyone else who might have this same problem.

Tried reinstalling MP 2k6 with microsoft integration, and reinstalled CFMapPoint, but it still does not work.

Will try it on my M10k, and notebook harddrive when it gets here in the next week or two.

Wow.. bummer. Umm, I'm kinda out of of ideas. My truck's in the shop for a valve job so I can't go look at the install. I'll try it all here on my desktop in a bit and see if I can figure anything out.

Okay... I have it running on my desktop. Sorry to say though, I didn't do anything special, it came right up. I:

Installed MapPoint 2006, taking all defaults except for path
Installed CF RC4.2, taking defaults except for path
Installed CFMP 0.83 taking defaults except for path
Added CFMP as a plugin in CF
Added CFMP as a button
Clicked on CFMP and... it came up

You're using CF 4.2 and CFMP 0.83, right?

Have you installed .NET v2 _and_ .NET v1.1? I THINK CFMP wants v2, but I know CF only wants v1.1. (v2 is _not_ a superset of v1.1. You need to install both of them)

Yah I'm running 4.2 and .83 I'm going to double check see if I have both versions of .net framework.

'k... There's also a vague issue around the order that you install the .NET releases. I think you have to install v1.1 after v2. There's a thread around here about that, but I can't find it right now. Sorry.

I have both .nets installed. 2.0 first.

Yet no luck. I'm hoping its my computer, and when I get my m10k and laptop drive I will have no problem with it.

As you can see Mappoint and CF are running fine but CF plugin cant find Mappoint
