Hey Mappers, A perplexing VM problem. I attempted to apply the VM3.1.1 update without success. The updater managed to discard the older version but failed to install the new version. I don't recall any errors or warnings until I fired up MapInfo and got the error that VM was missing and the workspace could not be completed. This is where things get perplexing....
I tried to reinstall VM but without much luck. Using the VM 3.0 CD the installation gets 8-9% through then gives the following error message: Component Mapinfo FileGroup Mapinfo File <MapInfoDIR>\ Error The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect I dug out older versions of VM to try to reinstall and work my way back up. VM 2.6 gets about 97% installed before tripping with the same error. VM 2.0does install (I couldn't find the original registration number but it too the one for VM3). I didn't attempt any analysis but MapInfo opens with VM in place without error. Alas, I still couldn't upgrade this to either of the subsequent versions; both terminate at the same spots during installation. Does any of this make sense to anyone? Suggestions for getting VM 3 back in place? Thanks, Declan
