Issue

When launching MapInfo Discover 3D or Discover PA, the application attempts to launch and then terminates with error:

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application.

Cause

The Earth Resource Mapping Base Map DLL library version is corrupted. It is still unclear why this DLL causes an access violation (0xc0000005) on some computers and not others and may be an corrupted installation issue.
