Default Install Directories for MapXtreme

MapXtreme is a 64-bit application that installs by default into C:\Program Files on 64-bit computers
or in C:\Program Files (x86) on 32-bit computers.

Both default paths are included in the Web.config files of the MapXtreme sample applications. If you
have installed MapXtreme to another location, you must edit the Web.config files to point to that
location for the samples to run properly.

L

For non-English US (ENU) installations of Windows, the default installation directory
C:\Programmer\ is considered a custom install location by MapXtreme. You must edit the
samples Web.config files to point to your install directory, as the example below shows.

<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="MapInfo.Engine.Session.Workspace"
value="C:\Programmer\MapInfo\MapXtreme\7.x.x\Samples\Data\World.mws"
/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Additional Installation Features

MapXtreme provides online installation instructions to follow. You can also access the instructions
via the Help button on the install dialogs during installation.

MapXtreme provides free sample data for a variety of world locations. To install the data, choose
Install Sample Data from the CD Browser. You can control how much of the data you wish to install
by choosing the Custom option. The Complete option (default) will install about 450 MB of world data
sets under Program Files\MapInfo\MapXtreme\7.x.x\Samples\Data.

L

You do not need to run this data installer in order to use the sample applications that ship with
MapXtreme. Basic sample data is automatically installed to the \Data folder for this purpose.

The MapXtreme CD Browser also provides a link to the PDF version of this Developer Guide.
