MapForums

Hi
we have problem making our .NET application working with MapPoint2006 on VISTA. I know this problem is discussed much in various forums. We have tried a large number of ideas and suggestions, but nothing actualy works.

We found, a bit strange, that if we installed VS2005 on same PC we got it to work fo a while. But we have no explanation why?

So - question is if anyone knows the very details (and latest) of why there is problems accessing MapPoint2006 from a .NEt application, when running on VISTA. and if there is an new resoltion for it.

/wenner

What is the error?

Building in VS2005 for MapPoint 2006 and then installing on Vista works for me...

... when I try to display MapPoint, an error prompted saying "Mappoint failed to load. The cause of this exception is unknown"

I've see the thread
Mappoint Issue in vista

...and we tried changing the NXCOMPAT, it worked for one VISTA PC, but not for a number of others. So it seems this is not a "safe" problem fixer...

... we have also tried compiling the .NET solution/application on a Vista-OS and try the .exe produced, but it gives the same error....

So what we are really looking for is either of...
a) instruction of how to produce a .NEt application that works with MP on Vista?
b) advice that explains the very bottom reason why this behaviour is related to mapPoint on Vista - why is mapPoint working same as on XP?
