How to Uninstall the MapInfo Professional 11.5 Beta Release Did you assist with the MapInfo Professional 11.5 Beta program? If you did, then before installing MapInfo Professional you must first uninstall the MapInfo Professional Beta software. This is a two-step process that requires: a. uninstalling the MapInfo Professional Beta using Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel and b. manually removing MapInfo Professional Beta files that are left behind. To manually remove the MapInfo Professional Beta files left behind after uninstalling: 1. Locate the MapInfo Professional Beta files by searching for a folder called 1150 on your computer’s C drive. For example: On Windows XP C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\1150 On Windows 7 C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\1150 2. Delete the 1150 folder and all of its contents. You are now ready to install MapInfo Professional 11.5 to your computer. Microsoft Warning for 64-Bit Version of Microsoft Office If you do not have Microsoft Office installed on your machine, then MapInfo Professional 11.5 installs a Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit driver, so that MapInfo Professional can open Microsoft Access and Excel 2010 files. If you already have the 64-bit 2010 Microsoft Office driver installed, and you do not have the 2007 32-bit driver installed, then MapInfo Professional installs the Microsoft Office 2007 32-bit driver. You can still work with Microsoft Access 2010 and Excel 2010, but you may see an error message if an incompatibility occurs. L Microsoft strongly recommends using the 32-bit (x86) versions of Office 2010, Project 2010, Visio 2010, and SharePoint Designer 2010 applications as the default option for all platforms (including on a 64-bit operating system). Refer to 64-bit Editions of Office 2010 on page 9 for more details. Repairing MapInfo Professional from the .MSI file On Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, the repair process fails using the .msi file when the Microsoft User Account Control (UAC) is turned on. Depending on the installation conditions one of two error messages displays and the repair stops: You have MapInfo Professional running, please close it and run setup again. Or MDAC 2.8 cannot be installed on this machine. MDAC 2.8 requires any one of the following configurations To work around this issue, do one of the following three things: • Shut off the UAC (User Account Control), this requires System Administrative privileges, reboot the machine, and rerun the repair. • Run the original setup.exe file and then run the repair from maintenance mode. MapInfo Professional 11.5 Release Notes 3 • Run the installed copy of the MapInfo Professional 11.5 .msi file as an administrator: a.

We strongly recommend this Windows security feature remain activate (remain turned on). SQL Server 2008 Support on Vista Vista is not a supported operating system with MapInfo Professional 11.5. If you choose to install to VISTA, then be aware that SQL Server 2008 (SQL Server Spatial) provides a different ODBC driver for Windows Vista. A Windows Vista user must use the x64 and Itanium versions of sqlncli.msi, which installs the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of SQL Server Native Client, on your 64-bit Windows operating system To download the appropriate sqlncli.msi, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms131321.aspx MapInfo Professional 11.5 Release Notes 4 Downloading Tools and Applications Several tools and applications are available for download from the Pitney Bowes Software website at www.pbinsight.com.

MapInfo Professional 11.5 Release Notes 5 Notes about this Release Retiring Functionality Notice of Discontinued Feature The Search PBBI Data Catalog feature has been discontinued. This feature was available by selecting File > Open Web Service > Search PBBI Data Catalog or by selecting the toolbar button of the same name . This opened the Catalog Browser to search for data in a Pitney Bowes Software catalog. This feature has been discontinued as of this release. Retiring Envinsa Online Services (EOLS) The Envinsa Online Services link with MapInfo Professional is no longer available for new customers. Please contact saassalessupport@pb.com or speak with your Pitney Bowes account representative about alternative options for Geocoding.

Going forward, we will look to support these services on Pitney Bowes Software’s Spectrum and Spatial Server technologies. New Features More Sorting and Filtering Options in the Browser Window The Browser window is where you edit records in your table, copy records, add new ones, or delete existing records. To open a Browser directly, on the Window menu, click New Browser Window. If the Browse Table dialog displays, select a table from the list and click OK. The new toolbar buttons will be the first thing you notice. The Browser window now supports more sorting and filtering options that are available through toolbar buttons and from right-clicking to display a pop-up menu. New features include the options to: • Add a new row • Sort on multiple columns • Create filters to limit which rows display • Clear sort and/or filters • Reapply sort and/or filters • Launch the Text Style or Pick Fields dialog boxes to control the style and contents of the Browser window • Toggle your sort and/or filter conditions on or off A New Legend Designer Window MapInfo Professional replaces the cartographic legend window with a new and more usable window, called the Legend Designer. You have improved control over designing the layout of your legends, specifically with aligning and positioning legend frames. Output of the new legend window from a Layout is also greatly improved. The new Legend Designer window provides a grid and guideline features that you can snap selected legend frames to for accurate alignments. Scroll bars display in the window as needed when zooming into and out of the legend view. The zoom feature uses a paper-based scale, so that you can zoom out and see an overview of the window contents, or zoom in to see more detail. Toolbar buttons let you quickly access these new features. To access the Legend Designer window, activate your Map window and from the Map menu select Create Legend. This opens the Create legend wizard where you would select the map layers to include in the map legend as well as any specific settings for how to display map layer information in the legend. The map legend then displays in a Legend Designer window, which offers controls for customizing the layout of the map legend. You can still create the previous Cartographic Legend window by setting the preference via Options>Preferences>Legend Window. MapInfo Professional 11.5 Release Notes 6 Edit Records in the Catalog Browser The Catalog Browser is a tool in MapInfo Professional that allows you to locate descriptive information about spatial and non-spatial datasets. This information is often referred to as metadata. Metadata describes information about the data, such as its title, creation/modified date, coordinate reference system and location. MapInfo Professional lets you edit catalog records and then save them back to a MapInfo Manager 1.2 Library Service seamlessly. To edit a record against a managed table that you have open in MapInfo Professional, right-click on it in the Table List window or Layer Control window and select View/Edit Record. This launches the Catalog Browser, if it is not already open, to an Edit Record View. For a description of how to make your edits, see the Catalog Browser Help. When you save a managed table after applying edits to it, your edits save back to the MapInfo Manager Library Service. Data saved to the MapInfo Manager library service is saved in the format of the metadata. You can only edit metadata records for catalogs exposed from MapInfo Manager and not for public catalogs. To work with the catalogs from a MapInfo Manager Library Service, set the library service as a preference in MapInfo Professional. Added Support for Working with MWS Workspaces As of the 11.0.3 Maintenance Release there is additional support for: reading basic label information from MWS files created in MapInfo Professional or MapXtreme’s Workspace Manager; writing label override information to a workspace (MWS); and including Layer Translucency, Style Override Translucency, and Label Translucency settings. Add Google Earth Enterprise Tile Server Layers to a Map As of the 11.0.3 Maintenance Release, MapInfo Professional supports Google Earth Enterprise Tile Servers. If you have access to a Google Earth server, then you would create TAB and XML files for each Google layer that you wish to use. There is no support for a public Google server; this feature lets you get data from a private Google Earth Enterprise Server. A Google Earth Enterprise Tiling Server can contain image tiles for one or more layers. The tiles can be based on image or vector data. The URL to request individual tiles uses a slightly different format for Imagery versus Vector data requests. This impacts the <url> in the XML file. The data can be in two different projections. A tile server can contain one or more layers (Tile Server Layers). Each tile server layer has its own information, including and not limited to: ID, label, version, type of data/request. Each tile server layer corresponds to a single MapInfo Table/Layer. Google Enterprise supports two projections: flat and Mercator. This impacts the Coordsys clause in the TAB file (including the Bounds, which are different for flat and Mercator projections). To use a Google server as a tile server within MapInfo Professional, you must have a TAB and XML file. This corresponds to one layer on the tile server. You can open and use the TAB file in MapInfo Professional just like any other tile server table. Currently, there is no automatic way to generate these files. The following sections explain how to get information about the server and how to construct TAB and XML files for your specific server. Add SQL Select Query Results to the Current Map Window The SQL Select dialog box, which is accessible by selecting SQL Select from the Query menu, now includes a check box for adding your query results to the current Map window. Updates to Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) FME supports additional input settings for the following input types. • Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF – New input settings are Apply World File, Schema Attributes, Search Envelope, and Layer Options. Updated settings for Group Entities By, Blocks, Entity Color, Visible Attributes, and Groups. For details about these settings, see Input Settings for Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF Dialog Box (FME) in the MapInfo Professional Help System.There is support up to AutoCAD 2010 for this format. MapInfo Professional 11.5 Release Notes 7 • Bentley MicroStation Design (7 and 8) – New input setting for World File Transformation. Updates for Group Elements By, Element Expansion, Read Reference Files, Coordinate Units, and Override Global Origin. For details about these settings, see Input Settings for Bentley MicroStation Design (V7) Dialog Box (FME) and Input Settings for Bentley MicroStation Design (V8) Dialog Box (FME). • ESRI ArcInfo Export (E00) – New input setting for Schema Attributes and Search Envelope. For details about these settings, see Input Settings for ESRI ArcInfo Export (E00) Dialog Box (FME). • ESRI Geodatabase MDB – New input setting for Database Connection, Schema Attributes. Updated settings for Constraints. For details about these settings, see Input Settings for ESRI Geodatabase MDB Dialog Box (FME). • Google Earth KML Parameters – New input setting for Move To World Coordinate System, Apply Transformations To Models, and Search Envelope. Updated settings for Schema Attributes. For details about these settings, see Input Settings for Google Earth KML Dialog Box (FME). • Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) – Newly documented. For details about these settings, see Input Settings for Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) Dialog Box (FME). • Vector Product Format (VPF) Coverage – New input setting for Dataset Parameters, Feature Class Parameters], Schema Attributes, Search Envelope. For details about these settings, see Input Settings for Vector Product Format (VPF) Coverage Dialog Box (FME). Data Access Features MapInfo Professional now supports: • Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (also called SQL Server Spatial) SQL Server 2012 comes with enhanced security features, offers interactive data visualization, and supports on- premises and public cloud solutions. • PostgreSQL 9.0.3 with PostGIS 1.5.2 (with the ODBC driver delivered with PostgreSQL 9.0.3) PostGIS extends a PostgreSQL database to support spatial data (geographic objects). PostGIS follows the OpenGIS Simple Features Specification for SQL. Data Enhancements See the MapInfo Professional Data Directory document on the MapInfo Professional DVD for a description of the sample data supplied with this product. MapCAD Version Update This release updates the MapCAD tool to a new version. This product provides tools that work with MapInfo Professional to create maps that are appropriate for land development and surveying tasks. The MapCAD tool includes new functionality for splines and for creating text from a database. The MapCAD tool installs automatically with MapInfo Professional to a subfolder called MapCAD. To access MapCAD drawing and editing tools and toolbars, from the MapInfo Professional Tools menu, select Tool Manager > MapCAD. The manufacturer provides a full help system to assist you in using this product. For support, contact MapCAD incorporated directly. Their web site is: http://www.geoas.de Zoom-in, Zoom-out Relative to Mouse Pointer Position When using mouse wheel, users should be able to zoom-in and zoom-out relative to the position of the cursor. In this release, we have created a new Preference that will allow users to switch between current zooming behavior in MapInfo Professional and a new one. Changes to the Browser Window Right-click Menu The browser window and its context menus have been rearranged, to make it easier to use common commands. A toolbar at the top of each Browser window provides quick, easy access to frequently-used commands, such as Text Style, Pick Fields, and New Row. (These commands have been removed from the right-click menu now that they are toolbar buttons.) Previously, clicking on a column header would display the sort menu. In this release, you can sort by right-clicking anywhere in the column (on either a column header or a cell). MapInfo Professional 11.5 Release Notes 8 MapBasic Language Enhancements The MapBasic language has been enhanced. Several new statements have been added, and various pre-existing statements and functions have been enhanced, related to recent enhancements to the Browser window and the Legend Designer window. For details on language enhancements, see the MapBasic online Help. There is also new MapBasic support for Legend Designer windows (Create Designer Legend, Add Designer Frame, Remove Designer Frame, Alter Designer Frame, Refresh Designer Legend, Set Designer Legend) and updates to LegendInfo() function. Currently, in this release, you cannot print the contents of the Legend Designer window and you cannot copy and paste its contents to the clipboard. New Fill Patterns Tables created with new fill patterns in MapInfo Professional11.5 (Pattern # 176 – 186), when opened in MapInfo Professional version 9.5 and earlier display with a solid foreground color. In MapInfo Professional 10.0 and 10.5 they display as no fill, no background. In MapInfo Professional 11.0, they display as a solid fill. A Workspace opening one of these tables shows the pattern as a solid foreground like 9.5 and earlier. New Help Menu Item for Bing Maps Terms of Use A new item “Bing Maps Terms of Use ” has been added to the Help menu. Selecting it will open the user’s default web browser to a page describing the legal terms of use of the Microsoft Bing Services within MapInfo Professional. The menu item can be invoked via MapBasic using the menu id M_HELP_BING_TERMS_OF_USE(1220). Multiple Monitor Support The following improvements have been made to multiple monitor support: 1. All modal dialogs will display on the same monitor where the MapInfo Professional application window is located. (If the application window is split between multiple monitors, then the dialog displays on the monitor that contains the greatest amount of the application window.) 2. When MapInfo Professional starts up, it will ensure that all floating windows and toolbars are visible on one of the available monitors. 3. When the virtual desktop changes, MapInfo Professional will ensure that all floating windows and toolbars are visible on one of the available monitors. (This can happen when you use "remote desktop control" or plug your laptop into a projector.) 4. If you have lost a window off screen, you can click menu item Window > Recover Off Screen Windows to make it visible on one of the available monitors. 5. The status bar popup window now appears in an appropriate location (was always being displayed on the primary monitor). Known Issues Installing Installing Sample Data on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 To work with the sample data after installation on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, you must install to a folder that has permission to edit (read and write permission). Some folders, such as the Program Files folder, do not have write permission by default when the User Account Control (UAC) is turned on. Consult with your system administrator prior to installing the sample data. MapInfo Professional 11.5 Release Notes 9 64-bit Editions of Office 2010 Microsoft recommends installing a 32-bit version of Microsoft Office when you are dependent on using 32-bit applications that interact with Office. In this case, MapInfo Professional is 32-bit application that requires 32-bit drivers to work with Microsoft Office data, such as Access and Excel. Microsoft offers detailed information at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681792.aspx. This web posting includes the following recommendations for which edition of Office 2010 to install: • If users in your organization depend on existing extensions to Office, such as ActiveX controls, third-party add-ins, in-house solutions built on previous versions of Office, or 32-bit versions of programs that interface directly with Office, we recommend that you install 32-bit Office 2010 (the default installation) on computers that are running both 32-bit and 64-bit supported Windows operating systems. • If some users in your organization are Excel expert users who work with Excel spreadsheets that are larger than 2 gigabytes (GB), they can install the 64-bit edition of Office 2010. In addition, if you have in-house solution developers, we recommend that those developers have access to the 64-bit edition of Office 2010 so that they can test and update your in-house solutions on the 64-bit edition of Office 2010. If you already have the 64-bit Microsoft Office driver installed, then MapInfo Professional 10.5.2 uses the Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit driver installed with MapInfo Professional 11.5. You can still work with Microsoft Access and Excel 2010, but you may see an error message if an incompatibility occurs. If you want to install an Office 64-bit application after installing MapInfo Professional 10.5.2, you must remove the 2010 Access database engine that was installed with MapInfo Professional 10.5.2. Follow the instructions provided in the error message that you see from Microsoft: To install the 64-bit Office 2010 application and then install the 32-bit Office 2010 driver: 1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel and then depending on your operating system select Add or Remove Programs or Programs and Features. 2. From the list, select the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 driver and click Remove. 3. Install the 64-bit Office 2010 application on your computer. 4. Install the 32-bit Office 2010 driver on your computer. You can download this driver from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255 You can now open all versions of Access and Excel files until version 2007 (Office 12) without issue. You can still work with Access and Excel 2010 files, but you may see an error message if an incompatibility occurs. Accessing a Premium Service License If the License Server Utility has more than one serial number for the same product and version, then MapInfo Professional can check out any one of them regardless of the serial number you entered during activation. If you have a Premium Service and the License Server Utility selects a non-Premium serial number, then MapInfo Professional is not available with Premium Services and vice versa. This is applicable only when both product and version are the same—there are two serial numbers for MapInfo Professional 11.5. Setup Error You cannot install the 64-bit version of Office 2010, because you have 32-bit Office products installed. These 32-bit products are not supported with 64-bit installations: Microsoft Access database engine 2010 (English) If you want to install 64-bit Office 2010, you must uninstall all 32-bit Office products first, and then run setup.exe in the x64 folder. If you want to install 32-bit Office 2010, close this Setup program and either go to the x86 folder at the root of your CD or DVD and run setup.exe, or get the 32-bit Office 2010 from the same place you purchased 64-bit Office 2010. MapInfo Professional 11.5 Release Notes 10 Workaround: Install the License Server Utility on two different machines, one with Premium Services serial number activated and the other with non Premium Services serial number activated. Working with the Catalog Browser Native Table Support MapInfo Professional lets you add Native tables (*.TAB files) to the Library, so that you can manage them in MapInfo Professional. You can also add non-native tables, which cannot be managed within MapInfo Professional. • If the table list shows against a table, the table is managed by the MapInfo Manager. • If the table list shows against a table, the table is not managed by the MapInfo Manager. • If the table list shows no icon against a table, the table is not manageable, such as a selection table, query table, seamless table. This also applies to Access and Excel tables. Editing Metadata with integration to MapInfo Manger 1.2 when Authentication is turned on In MapInfo Professional 11.5, we have provided a new “Metadata editing” feature having integration support with MapInfo Manager 1.2. For that feature to work properly with authentication enabled MapInfo Manager you need get an updated version of MapInfo Manager 1.2 created to address an issue with MapInfo Manager: MIM-3487. Contact your Pitney Bowes representative or your channel partner for an updated version of MapInfo Manager. However if you are not turning authentication on while setting up MapInfo Manager 1.2, then you need not get this new patch release addressing that authentication issue with MapInfo Manager 1.2. Printing to PDF Avoid printing to an already open PDF file (using the MapInfo PDF Printer Version 11.5 driver). Replacing an open PDF file may lead to unexpected results. Printing after Turning off Customized Labels When printing to a PDF, customized labels are visible after unchecking the Labels layer. Printing to a Georegistered PDF The MapInfo PDF Printer driver does not support the GeoRegistration or PDF Attribute data export with PDF security options or encryption. The GeoRegistration or PDF Attribute exporting is valid with the following MapInfo PDF Printer configuration settings (set on the Destination tab): • Preview document before proceeding and Prompt for destination options should be unchecked. • File system should be selected as destination. • On the File System Options tab, set the following fields: – Destination File should be set to Prompt for file name. – Default Directory should be left blank – Default Filename should be left blank – Overwrite option should be set to anything but Append to Existing file – Print to should be set to Do not Print L Printing to a GeoRegistered PDF or exporting PDF data without applying these recommendations may result in an error: “An unknown error occurred while exporting Geographic/Attribute data to PDF.” [...]...
