Unable to launch

Workstation attempting to run application is Windows 2000 SP4 (admin rights). I'm getting a Windows error window.

MapWindow GIS has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience... {send error report}{don't send}

I was watching the application via Process Explorer and saw that the application launched and spawned a couple 'setenv.exe' threads.

I can probably attribute the fault to an absence of .Net or C# run-times or both. I will try launching from my XP Pro machine this evening.

Also noted registry values added, but because I didn't get a full launch of the application, I don't know if they would have been cleaned up on close. So treat these as "FWIW".

Values added:6
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment\PROJ_LIB: "E:\PortableApps\MapWindowGISPortable\App\MapWindow\PROJ_NAD"
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment\GDAL_DATA: "E:\PortableApps\MapWindowGISPortable\App\MapWindow\GDAL_DATA"
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\PROJ_LIB: "E:\PortableApps\MapWindowGISPortable\App\MapWindow\PROJ_NAD"
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\GDAL_DATA: "E:\PortableApps\MapWindowGISPortable\App\MapWindow\GDAL_DATA"

Is not running at all...

...on Windows XP sp3, admin !

Maybe it could have something to do with the lack of DefaultData or any dll's what should be registered, I'm not sure.

All what happens is MapWindow.exe pops-up in the Task Manager for a second and closes. Regshot is clean though, for what it's worth for.

Thanks. I shall investigate these claims that they are not running, and should post a reply within 10 or so minutes (hopefully).

MapWindowGIS work!!!!

I found a problem with the MapWindowGIS.ocx (resource not found) and I fixed it by using the line 'cd / d "% ~ dp0"' in regMapWindow.cmd.
