Vista Hassles
Hi - thanks for the forum response that got me here. I downloaded the files but as I had not loaded any actual Garmin MapSource Files previously, I could see the paths in the .reg file wouldn't work. I changed them to point to the MapCenter folder which had been created when I downloaded an installer from the Open Source Project, but after editing the reg file in notepad it didn't run a such. Should it?
I managed to open the reg editor and manually recreated the keys and strings by mirroring the existing MapCenter files (it worked) but there must have been an easier way...I imported the reg file into regedit but it didn't populate the '1' file with the necessary strings.... A fun half hour on a wet Friday night. For someone who's never used regedit before this would be an impossible task.
Double-click the reg file...
You should just have to double-click on the reg file in Windows Explorer to install the registry keys. I have not tried this in Vista but on XP I get a little dialog saying something like "the keys were successfully imported." Did you get any response at all?
Reg file
No, I got no response.
Since then I've acquired the 76, upgraded its firmware and upgraded Mapsource. The new version of MapSource didn't like the MapCenter maps and told me to reinstall them. The Airspace maps were ok.
Help Wayne!
Hi Wayne,
I've obviously screwed up the install because whenever I try to open MapSource it now comes up wth an error message stating "There is a problem with the NZ_Airspace installation. Please re-install NZ_Airspace and start MapSource again."
I've uninstalled and re-installed MapSource as well as the airspace download, but it still doesn't work.
I think the problem arose when I tried editing the registry file in Notepad. I'd unzipped the airspace files to D:\Program Files, which is where MapSource is. I then altered the registry settings to point to D:\\Program Files\\.......................... whereupon MapSource stopped working.
How do I change the registry settings back and get the maps installed properly?
Cheers,
Graham.
