MapPoint 2002 was working just fine on my XP system until recently, when --for some inexplicable reason -- I received this error message: "Your registry settigns for this application were not copied properly. To correct these settings, run Setup again for this application from the location where you originally installed it."

I tried that without success. Then I reinstalled the program from the original CD, but the same message reappeared.

Anyone know what this is all about?

Six year old post, with no replies, ironically this is the exact problem that sent me searching through this forum today. I recently swicthed from Sreets & Trips 2006 to Mappoint 2009, and even though I have uninstalled S&T the 3rd party program that is linked to Mappoint gives me the same registry error. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling in every configuartion with no luck.

Does MapPoint work without the third party application?

(it might be the third party program that is producing your error)

I was having the same problem and got here too. Had not been finding any answers. I ended up opening the Mappoint folder in "Program Files" right click the Mappoint exe and opened as administrator and it worked. Still trying to figure out how we can open it without using this method.

They both work independant of each other. I finally uninstalled both, removed all (DOZENS!) of registry settings left behind pointing to eaither program and finally got the error message to go away. This was the error message:
