I have run Vista Ultimate 64 bit for some time now and MapPoint 2009 ran
without a hitch. I recently installed my MSDN final release version of
Windows 7 Professional and have successfully installed MapPoint 2009.
However, when I try to run the program nothing happens. I have tried the

However, when I try to run the program nothing happens. I have tried the
following:-
1. I ran the program as Administrator but then get the message "you
registry settings for this application were not copied correctly. To
correct these settings, run Setup again for this application from the
location where you originally installed it". I tried this but got the same
result.
2. I have tried Windows 7 compatibility mode for all versions of XP and
Vista but to no avail.
3. I have tried an old XP solution of deleting temporary files before
re-installing but again I get the same result.
Windows Event Viewer tells me that MapPoint 2009 is incompatible. Can this
really be true or is there an answer to this problem?
Can anyone please offer a solution?
I've definitely had both MapPoint 2009 & 2010 running in Windows 7. However this would be on a 32 bit system.
MapPoint must run in 32 bit compatibility mode (like most software). Perhaps you've got something "funny" set in your Win7 64 bit settings? Also note that any add-ins or other programs which are going to run with MapPoint must also be fully 32 bit (or set to run 32 bit only).
