Installation Notes

If you are experiencing problems with the installation of GeoTrack on a development machine, please refer to the following guidelines to insure a proper installation:

 

Do Not Run Installations Multiple Times Without Uninstalling

Do not run install on top of install of a product.  This can result in multiple registry entries for the same product and can cause problems.  If you want to re-install a product, uninstall it first.

Please note:  This only applies to first-time installations of a product.  Update versions of products require that the previous version(s) be installed on your system.

 

Multiple Windows Environments

If you are using more than one Windows environment on your development system and you want to use a product in each environment, you must install the product under each environment.  This will register the product with each environment.

 

 

Installing Your Application On A Client Machine

If you are experiencing problems with the installation of an application using a Blue Marble product on a client machine, please refer to the following guidelines to insure a proper installation:

 

 

Support Files Needed For Distribution

To use the GPS functions with your app you need to ship BMGTRK32.DLL.

 

·    Depending on your development environment, you may need to distribute additional files with your application.  Consult the your development environment's IDE documentation for more information.

 

__________________________________________

Using the Un-installer

GeoTrack files can be removed from your system with the Windows Add\Remove Programs Item or by selecting the remove link from Start\Programs\Blue Marble Geographics\GeoTrack. This also cleans up the entries made into the Registration Database.
