Yep, there is. I found it in StreetDeckDVD:/MSMap/Pfiles/MapPoint.exe.
I copied it to C:/Program Files/StreetDeck/Maps. Then I ran it. It ran just fine. I have maps in MapPoint. I had my hopes up and went to check if Navigation in StreetDeck would now magically work.
It did not.
I still get his in the logs:
INFO: CAppData::Exec - Executing Module CNAVFullScreenModule
INFO: MessageBox:

Please wait while navigation initializes.

Navigation Failed!
Navigation failed to initailize properly. Is the navigation data installed?
This message indicates that MapPoint North America is not registerd on my system. So, I run MapPoint again, click on help, register. Now, I am registered, right? [I know that I should not register the StreetDeck redistributable version - but, hey... I need some support somewhere... ].
It still does not work!
Exactly, where is SD looking for the navigation data? Why can mappoint find it and not SD? Can I change a configuration file, application path, or registry setting so that SD can find the navigation data?
The date on the StreetDeck install Disk for the SD installer is 7/4/2006 10:13 PM. Is there a more recent install disk that actually gets the mappoint installation right? Can you please send me this disk?
