Re: Installing of BulkLoad MapTiles Addin fails

I am trying to install the Bulk Load Map Tiles Addin. Having downloaded the zip file and extracted the ReadMe and the ocx files I go through the Tools>Install>Addin route and on selecting the ocx I get the message "The specified file is not a COM server and cannot be registered" >OK. On clicking on OK I get a further message "The following Addin has been successfully installed:Bulk Load". But I can't find it and it doesn't appear in the Tools drop-down. In Explorer I find that the Bulk Load ocx is not in the Addins folder but in another folder\subfolder called Extra Addins\Bulk load Map Tiles. What's going on and what can I do about it? I am on a networked installation of Recorder 6.(Version 6.17.1.250)

Re: Installing of BulkLoad MapTiles Addin fails

We've had this problem. If I remember correctly you have to copy the ocx file into the addins folder manually first and then do the installation, but you might like to refer to the following thread http://forums.nbn.org.uk/viewtopic.php?id=2926
