[mapguide-users] RE: RE: Coords files on 64 bit machine

[Jim O'Leary]

According to Bruce Dechant, who I believe did some research on this topic,

Only native 64 bit applications can use the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\
location directly. 32bit applications will seamlessly be redirected to the
above registry key when requesting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\

MG is obviously reading the coords files where they reside. It just doesn't
read the BC Albers. Perhaps those coords files need to be recreated in Map
3D on a 64 bit machine?
