tnx, but still no luck.

I tried changing the target platform from 3.5 to 2.0. 2.0 is used with vs2005 and mappoint workes on that platform?

When runing it with the new settings i get a "ArgumetException" -"MapPoint failed to load. The cause of this failure is unknown."

Is there something that i am missing in the settings or is this just a vs2008 problem or am I stupid?

will keep trying. if i have to install vs2005
