Not sure if you're speaking of a different product but Garmin Mapsource does not require usb drivers under Win 7, and in fact if you do manage to install them, they might cause problems. If you're writing about another program, it might still be the same issue...

That might be the problem - there's a way of running the install in Win2K or XP mode.

 

Right click on the Mapsend install file and either select "Troubleshoot compatibility" or go to the Properties/Compatibility tab and run the install in Win XP mode.

When starting the installation, try right clicking on the setup.exe and run as Administrator. Once install is complete, you may need to find the executable that starts the program and right click it to run as administrator.

SORRY FOR THE DELAY. I used the means you suggested this morning on another software that would not open, it worked great. this gives the error-2. error and stops. it does not offer the install file you suggested

therefore i cant use this approach. i tried it twice there is nothing to right click on any other suggestions will be appreciated TERMITE22

I came across this forum and topic after searching online for help with installing the MapSend Topo 3D onto my Windows 7 machine. I have used this software for years on my old laptop (windows XP). Anyway, I was able to finally install this after going into the properties, and checking the box to run as administrator.

I also had problems installing but got it to work. now the only problem is no contour lines show up and no 3d option is even present in the program. it looks like the older version before the 3D release. Any suggestions???
