MapPoint 2001
Installing and Running MapPoint Over a Network:
To copy MapPoint files to a server:
o Create an installation folder on the network server
o The folder name must not include any spaces. For example, a valid folder name is MPInstall.
o Insert the MapPoint Setup disc in your disc drive, and copy its contents to the folder you just created on the server.
o Insert the MapPoint Run disc in your disc drive, and copy its contents to the same folder.
o Note: MapPoint will not install to file servers that only support 8.3 filenames (also known as short filenames).
To install and run MapPoint over a network:
o On the client machine, map a network drive to the installation folder on the server where the MapPoint files have been copied.
o Note MapPoint may not run correctly over some networks unless the folder from which MapPoint is to be run is mapped using a drive letter (instead of connected using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC), such as \\servername\foldername).
o From the installation folder on the server, double-click Setup.exe, and follow the online installation instructions.
o The MapPoint program files are installed on the client machine.
o From the Microsoft MapPoint folder on the client machine, double-click mappoint.exe.
