Upgrading to MapXtreme

MapXtreme installs into its own directory using the form \<installdir>\MapInfo\MapXtreme\7.x.x.x,
where X.x.x is the current release. It will not overwrite a previous version. This allows you to
maintain side-by-side installations of different releases of the product.

For a side-by-side installation, copy your old license file to the location of the newest installation
(Program Files\Common Files\MapInfo\MapXtreme\7.x.x.).

Note, when using a side by side install, you must close Visual Studio before opening a project of a
different type. For web applications, you will also need to reset Internet Information Services (IIS).
Use the iisreset.exe command in a console window or from the Start > Run menu option.

Migrating Web Sites to 64-bit Web Applications

MapXtreme supports creating 64-bit web applications. If you have an existing Web site, you will
need to migrate them to a Web application to take advantage of 64-bit processing. You may continue
to build MapXtreme-based Web sites that are 32-bit only (see

Updating Existing Web Sites on

page 44

).

There is nothing specific to MapXtreme when migrating a Web site to a Web application. For more
