It is important to wait until the installation completes. Advanced Installation for System Administrators This section is for the system administrator installing this Maintenance Release using a command line, and the network system administrator installing this Maintenance Release across the network using a Microsoft Patch (MSP) file. Upgrading Using a MSP File The MSP file for the MapInfo Pro Maintenance Release updates the English release of MapInfo Pro 15.0, 15.0.1 and 15.0.2. It does not update: Non-English versions of MapInfo Pro 15.0 MapInfo Pro Runtime 15.0 The MSP file is available for download from: www.pbinsight.com/support/product-downloads/item/mapinfo-pro-v15.0.3-maintenance-release-msp-file Install this Maintenance Release with elevated privileges. To do this, right-click on the Command-Line Interpreter (cmd.exe) and select Run as Administrator from the popup menu, then continue with the following instructions. To run the Maintenance Release MSP file, type: msiexec /p <path to the MapInfoPro15.0.3MaintenanceRelease.msp file> REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus Where: /p = applies the latest patch You may see a prompt for permission to continue. Click Allow or OK to proceed (if you do not respond and the message times-out, then the upgrade is unsuccessful). 3
You can upgrade silently by adding a silent parameter switch to the command, such as /qb, /qn, /qr, or /q. For example: msiexec /p <path to the MapInfoPro15.0.3MaintenanceRelease.msp file> REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus /qb Where: /qb = to see a basic progress dialog box during the installation Upgrading in Silent Mode To run the MapInfo Pro Maintenance Release installer in silent mode, from a command prompt change directories (cd command) to where the Maintenance Release.exe file is, and then type: MapInfoPro15.0.3MaintenanceRelease.exe /s /v"silinst=true" Where: /s = runs the setup.exe silently /v = passes the parameter "SILINST=True" to suppress the GUI. A progress dialog box may display during the installation. You may see a prompt for permission to continue. Click Allow or OK to proceed. This section lists the updates made since the release of 32-bit MapInfo Pro 15.0.2. Progress and Resolution of Outstanding Issues MapInfo Pro MIPRO-96534 Refreshing a WFS table containing a Date field from a WFS 1.0.0 server makes the Date field NULL. 4
MIPRO-95364 MapInfo Pro closes unexpectedly when adding a map to a Layout Designer. MIPRO-95357 Orthogonal Polygons are not correctly created using the Polyline tool. MIPRO-95344 MapInfo Pro closes unexpectedly while using Polyline Split at Node. MIPRO-95000 Opening large number of tables together in a MapInfo Pro workspace results in lowering of performance. MIPRO-94841 MapInfo Pro closes unexpectedly while using the Set Window command. MIPRO-94440 While using custom tools, panning by pressing the mouse wheel resets the selected custom tool to the default Select tool. MIPRO-94191 MapInfo Pro closes unexpectedly while executing an SQL query with missing double quotes in the WHERE clause. MIPRO-94038 Bing Roads and Hybrid base maps are missing certain roads. MIPRO-76240 Certain symbols and fonts are not displayed on the map. MIPRO-52623 Dialog strings in MapBasic tools as well as custom dialog strings are getting clipped. 5
MapInfo Pro 15.0.2 This section lists the updates made since the release of 32-bit MapInfo Pro 15.0.1. New and Changed Features This release uses the Microsoft Bing REST service instead of the Bing SOAP service, because the Bing SOAP Service is deprecating at the end of June 2017. This change affects the Move Map To feature, but there is no change to how you work with MapInfo Pro and there is no interruption to this Microsoft Bing service. Progress and Resolution of Outstanding Issues MapInfo Pro MIPRO-90283 The Web Map Service (WMS) and Envinsa Geocoding service are not working when using a proxy server to connect to them. MIPRO-91768 MapInfo Pro 15.0 x86 on Windows 10 closes unexpectedly: sometimes silently and sometimes with an error message. MIPRO-92756 MapInfo Pro closes unexpectedly when closing a dialog from a custom MapBasic application that calls.net code to open a browser. 6
MapInfo Pro 15.0.1 This section lists the updates made since the release of 32-bit MapInfo Pro 15.0. New Features Two new ellipsoid definitions are included with this 15.0.1 release, GSK-2011 and PZ-90.11. Using a new ellipsoid in any TAB, MIF, or WOR file upgrades the file version to 1501. However, the ellipsoid definition does not exist in MapInfo Pro 15.2.x and 16.0, so the following occurs when using these versions of MapInfo Pro with a 1501 table: Opening a table causes the CoordSys of the table to default to the WGS84 ellipsoid definition. Opening a workspace that uses a Set Map CoordSys statement with the new ellipsoid generates an invalid ellipsoid error and the map CoordSys defaults to the WGS84 ellipsoid definition. Issuing a MapBasic Set CoordSys from an MBX or MapBasic Window generates an invalid ellipsoid error. Importing a MIF file that uses a new ellipsoid in a Coordsys clause generates an invalid ellipsoid error. Ellipsoid Number Ellipsoid Name Major Semi Axis Inverse Flattening (1/f) 56 GSK-2011 6378136.5 298.2564151 57 PZ-90.11 6378136.0 298.25784 For further information, see: Datum parameters (page 3) for GSK2011: https://www.fig.net/resources/proceedings/fig_proceedings/fig2015/ppt/ts02g/ts02g_karpik_gienko_7538_ppt.pdf Datum parameters (page 11) for PZ-90.11: http://geophy.uni.lu/users/tonie.vandam/refag2014/sess_iv_reg_ref_frames/tatevian.pdf 7
Progress and Resolution of Outstanding Issues MapInfo Pro MIPRO-21266 The raster reprojection preference is not applied to images when opening a new map with a raster. Setting Image Processing > Reprojection to Always or Optimized when the Map window was created by initially adding a raster layer causes the reprojection to not work properly and the image to display without the reprojection. The Map window now correctly honors the reprojection preference. MIPRO-43569 I am unable to change the object style of the points in an Access ODBC table. MIPRO-44181 Clearing the selection from a seamless table causes MapInfo Pro to close unexpectedly. This issue occurs after making a selection from a table that is part of a seamless table and then clearing the selection by clicking elsewhere in the Map window, or when unselecting all. This also occurs when closing a named selection table created against a seamless table. MIPRO-47246 There are multiple issues that occur when using the Windows Device Clipping clip region options (found in Map Options): There are issues drawing outside the clip region, or sometimes not drawing inside of the clip region. Some issues are seen on-screen and others are only seen when printing or exporting. Some issues involve a stand-alone Map window, while others involve putting the Map window into a layout frame. The clip region behavior may vary depending on if Enhanced Rendering was turned on or off. There are redraw issues when moving labels in a map that has a clip region. There are redraw issues when panning a Map window that contains a clip region. MIPRO-47756 Label Visibility is being set to Off instead of enabling the zoom range while writing to a.mws workspace. Label visibility was incorrectly being set to Off when the feature layer visibility was off, even though label settings had a zoom range specified. This is now fixed. 8
MIPRO-48121 Printing Pie Charts from MapInfo Professional 12.0 causes the legend to display incorrectly. This issue also affects Bar charts, and both Pie and Bar Theme legends are printing at the wrong size. MIPRO-56013 Interleaved objects are not drawn on the cosmetic layer. Starting with version 10.5 interleaved line styles were no longer being drawn correctly in the cosmetic layer which is now fixed. MIPRO-62171 When printing, the label line appears when it should not. Issues during print and screen draws when zooming in very close on label callouts have been resolved. MIPRO-62691 MIPRO-64064 There is an issue when changing the value of the Ignore Zeroes and Blankscheck box on character columns in the Create Thematic Map dialog and switching between pages 2 and 3 of the dialog. MIPRO-63311 MIPRO-63947 MIPRO-64006 MIPRO-64014 MIPRO-64198 9
MIPRO-65233 When Exporting a layout the area does not scale to the image size. Exporting from a Layout Designer window using the Save Window As command does not scale the layout and its contents to the specified custom size. MIPRO-65433 Printing large symbols sometimes can cut off part of the symbol. This issue occurs, because the 32-bit versions of MapInfo Pro is running on a 64-bit operating system and is not able to read a registry setting. MapInfo Pro now reads the registry setting. When this occurs, enable the following DWORD registry key MBRExtraPoints under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MapInfo\MapInfo\Common]. Set the value to be the extra number of points to add to the search Minimum Bounding Rectangle (MBR) used when drawing objects. For example, if the largest symbol style to be drawn is 150 pts, then set the value of MBRExtraPoints to 150 (as a decimal value). MIPRO-71494 Setting the transparent color in the Adjust Image Styles dialog is not applied when choosing a color other than black. MIPRO-71572 In the English version of MapInfo Professional, legends are missing in the Layout window in a workspace when it was created using Danish MapInfo Professional. MapInfo Professional uses a DWORD registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MapInfo\MapInfo\Common\WriteWindowTitle with value 1 to create workspaces that can be shared across locales. If the registry is present on the machine, MapInfo Professional explicitly sets the title of the various windows in the workspace. However, this is not happening for Legend Designer windows. Resolution: Fixed for Legend Designer and cartographic Legend windows. This is a system limitation and is not fixed for standard MapInfo Pro theme legend windows. MIPRO-71906 Copying data from one table to another creates a pending edit on the original table. MIPRO-72517 The Style Override dialog can be moved behind the Layer Properties dialog. This issue exists with xvt modal dialogs for integrated mapping applications. 10
MIPRO-75531 Image processing settings do not save to the workspace (*.WOR) unless the map contains raster layers. MapInfo Pro saves image processing settings to the Workspace (*.WOR), even when there are no raster layers in the map. MapInfo Pro also continues to save image processing settings when the map contains raster layers and Image Processing is set to Always or Automatic or if the Resampling Method is set to Cubic Convolution. MIPRO-77610 MIPRO-79376 The following MapBasic application error displays in MapInfo Pro 15.0: "Unable to translate the Spatial Constraint". MIPRO-81232 The Unselect All button is active when the Browser window is open and nothing is selected. Switching from the Map window to the Browser window when there is no selection causes the Unselect All button to become active when it should be inactive. MIPRO-83395 The AGIS Browser closes unexpectedly with.net Framework 4.6.2 This issue is caused by.net Framework 4.6.2, which is part of the Microsoft Anniversary Update, and happens when putting a Browser into a layout, printing a Browser, or exporting a Browser (using Save Window As). Microsoft will offer a Hot Fix for this issue that includes a more comprehensive fix. Watch for this upcoming Hot Fix to apply it to other versions of MapInfo Pro. MIPRO-86473 It can take a long time to open workspaces after installing the Microsoft Anniversary Update on Windows 10. 11
