| Can you get at the Registry?
Hmmm, I thought I'd replied to this yesterday but it doesn't seem to have appeared. Can you get at the Registry? Another way might be to attempt to create a MapPoint.Application object, and trap it for an exception. This is how I'd be tempted to do it in C++. Does VB have exception handling, or somekind of error return? Richard

you could probably use a try stream. Something lilke Code: try
create mappoint object
catch(ex as exception)
msgbox("Mappoint not installed")
end try

I do it like this. '//Check for properly installed mappoint Dim rk As RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser rk = rk.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\MapPoint") '//If properly installed If Not rk Is Nothing Then 'Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Map = New frmMap Map.Show() Else '//If NOT properly installed MsgBox("Mapping feature only works if you have mappoint installed" & vbCrLf & _ "If Mappoint is installed on the machine, please run it once, before accessing this feature", _ MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "Mappoint error") End If
