[mapguide-users] MapGuide Studio and DXF / DWG problems....

Fri Nov 24 12:22:43 EST 2006

I'm not about to try uninstalling my CAD apps here to make Studio work, 
so I haven't done that....but other than that, ditto for me. I see the 
load sequence and that seems to work....dete.exe starts running and 
everything. But then you instantly get the cas error when you try to 
load the resource.

Interestingly enough, today it's totally crashing my studio when I try 
to load a dxf....that's a first for me. I pick my DXF and it 
crashes...every time. I had installed SP1 yesterday, and it wasn't 
crashing....it's got to be because of that though, since I've never had 
a problem like that.

The registry thing sounds logical enough....maybe I'll try to uninstall 
Studio today. I'll do the same as Gord and have a look for reg keys that 
don't get removed on the uninstall....
