Resolve issues with register vector utility not displaying the bottom mapper in Mapinfo Professional 11.x and later


 

Issue

Running the Register Vector Tool which ships with Mapinfo Professional does not display the bottom mapper of the tool.

Cause

User's Rights to the folders and files used by Mapinfo Professional were under Program Files and as such, were locked down, Rights-wise.

Resolution

UPDATED: December 3, 2019
User can either have their IT dept. grant needed Rights for the MapInfo folder and sub-folders or uninstall Professional and then re-install outside of Program Files
