I have developed a VB application using MapPoint and I am trying to install my package on a computer without MapPoint installed (and no license yet, just for testing). In order to use the MapPoint control I followed step by step the instructions frm "Create an installation disc for an,application created using the MapPoint control" http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=
/library/en-us/mappoint/html/BIZAPICreateInstallDisc.asp, but my installation fails on the installing MapPoint Control run-time and it gives me the error "You cannot install MapPoint over a network unless you first perform an administrative installation". Any idea what is wrong? Thanks, Elena

Answer:

I can only assume that you are running the install package from a network resource. This is when this "administrative install" message pops up. Try to burn your setup package to a CD and run setup from a local CD drive - or put all the files in a folder on a local drive and run setup from there.

There is also a flag you can use when running setup.exe from a command line that can suppress this message - ...\CD1\setup.exe nocheckmedia=true - but I'm not sure that is what you are looking for in this case.
