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

Fri Nov 24 13:50:57 EST 2006

Ok, so I did reinstall Studio....my crashing problem is gone (I didn't 
try re-applying SP1 - only reason that I did in the first place was to 
see if it would fix my problem). Still get the DBX CAS 4 error 
though.....I even totally cleaned my registry of anything to do with 
Studio (and there was a ton of stuff after uninstalling that didn't get 
removed).
