Trouble Moving Map Files to a New Computer?

Whether you have a new computer or crashed an old computer, moving the map files will NOT work. The map installation software must install entries into the Windows Registry in order for Mapsource to know where to look for the map files. Therefore you must rerun the map installation from the CD or download in order to see the maps on your new PC.
