Has anyone tried installing MapPoint 2004 on one of their terminal servers (w2k,sp3)? I was able to finally get the install to work only if the cd was in the machine's own drive...i.e. mapped drives wouldn't work and MetaFrame mapped drives wouldn't work either. ...the problem I am running into now is that when a user other than me (or my test account) tries to access the app, they get the following message:
 
If I were you I would go get regmon or filemon from
www.sysinternals.com and run it as the admin while a
normal user tries to access MapPoint. I would look in the
output of regmon or filemon for access denied error
messages, which would indicate incorrect NTFS permissions
on those MapPoint files.

following message:CD is not in the drive or the installation of this
application is corrupt. Make sure the drive you installed
from is attached, the CD is in the drive, your network is
connected, or run Setup again from its original installed
location.full install, but I did, in fact, choose the Full
Installation option when I ran the install....and since
the app runs thru a terminal session (actually a metaframe
session) for me and for my test user, I can't think of any
obvious reasons as to why it shouldn't work for a third
user.
 
Hi Matthew,
Thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded filemon and
was able to see that it was getting stuck trying to
access the root of my drive. I gave my users read access
and now they can get in.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Susan
