Working through the Help file Sample Project Tutorial I get to this poit then the compiler crash, help please?
Building TDB file...
ERROR: Error building product.
Error: Unable to open TDB script
File: C:\projects\ProductCreator\BuildProgressDlg.cpp, Line: 4070
I have also walked through the tutorial and everything seems to compile, including the TDB file until the Installer. When the Installer starts I get a message that due to an unknown error the Installer was not built. The plus side is that all other files are already created, only the installer is missing. On another forum I read that through the program called Mapset Toolkit (v 1.77) the map can be placed in MapSource. I have tried this and it seems to work. I now have the "Johnson Test Map" on my GPS and it is working, at least through simulation since I don't live in the USA.
So if your proces stops at the TDB file compilation, then there may be something else wrong either with your installation or maybe missing some step in the tutorial.
P.S. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate and starting the MPC software as Administator.
Thanks
Like in previous version posted on forum , files for MS are missing and Mapsetoolkit is the solution to install the map
You have to navigate to get to the good.

Thanks so much for your reply Bno25, I have managed to get to exactly where you are now too and making an installer is really very easy to we can use the current MPC without any real problems anymore and now that I know that it is not me that is doing something silly I am happy.
Catymag, thanks for your post too, I am happy now plus this is a real treasure to have - This forum gets a big thumbs up from me! I real badly wanted this tool.
I just got the program and I will test I have been using an old ver of MPC and I know it ver well!
