Getting rid of MapWinGIS.ocx?

[anders_gustafsson]

I asked about this in an earlier thread, but do not think I ever got an answer. When installing with the MSM it complains about this file. I do not use mapping at all and according to Don was it removed for copyright reasons. How do I exclude it from the install? This is the SP31 runtime.

Hi Anders,

Here's what you can do:

MapWinGIS.ocx could not be removed…it’s a necessary component for MapWinGIS which was used in SP30+.

I guessed that customer might face the MapWinGIS.ocx register problem due to lacks of Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable(x86) - 12.0.21005.

If customer did not want to use map feature anymore in runtime, they could just remove the entire CRRuntime_maps_13_0_31.msm while building customized installer.

Thanks again

Don

Ah.. So that was what the "maps" msm was for! No we do not use it. Will exclude it and try!

Well, the MS 2013 runtime is installed and I still get the error, but as I do not use the mapping component. I actually thought it was some other type of "mapping" and required for crystal, I will exclude it. And if I do the install runs without issues.

HI Anders,

You can possibly open it up in ORCA and remove the file.

I'll see if R&D has a work around.

Thanks again

Sorry for the lateness of my reply. I would like it removed as it introduces an unneeded dependency.

OOPs... lol I was thinking about our last chat upgrading to MSI files. You are right, it'll have to be something DEV does to remove the file.

Is there a specific reason why you want it removed? Or just because it's not used anymore.

OK. So Orca can handle MSM-files?
