I’ve got a magellan gps and I want to load some maps onto it. The only way to do so is with the magellan vantagepoint software. I ran the installer and there were no errors or any notable issues, but when I run the VantagePoint.exe file, it returns this error:
Unhandled Exception: System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Operation is not supported on this platform. at MapEngine.MapsContainer.IsExists (System.String map_path) [0x000a3] in <504da9b353b84335a42ceef8ee5f55b2>:0 at MapEngine.MapsContainer.AddPermanentWebServices (System.String provider_name, System.String localization_name) [0x00000] in <504da9b353b84335a42ceef8ee5f55b2>:0 at MapSend.MapSendContext.InitMaps () [0x00068] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at MapSend.MapSendContext..ctor (System.Windows.Forms.Form frame) [0x000a0] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at MapSend.MainFrame2007..ctor () [0x000a7] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) MapSend.MainFrame2007..ctor() at MapSend.Program.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00116] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Operation is not supported on this platform. at MapEngine.MapsContainer.IsExists (System.String map_path) [0x000a3] in <504da9b353b84335a42ceef8ee5f55b2>:0 at MapEngine.MapsContainer.AddPermanentWebServices (System.String provider_name, System.String localization_name) [0x00000] in <504da9b353b84335a42ceef8ee5f55b2>:0 at MapSend.MapSendContext.InitMaps () [0x00068] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at MapSend.MapSendContext..ctor (System.Windows.Forms.Form frame) [0x000a0] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at MapSend.MainFrame2007..ctor () [0x000a7] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) MapSend.MainFrame2007..ctor()
I’ve installed .net like the only thing I could find said, but haven’t found a further solution. Does anybody have other advice? Thank you very much in advance for the assistance.
You must log in or # to comment.
For now, I’ll just try it in a windows VM with USB passthrough. Any help would still be appreciated.
There’s a couple of ways I could imagine debugging this.
One would be to disassemble
MapEngine.MapsContainer.IsExistsand see why it would throw that exception. It’s quite strange because it should act like it’s running on windows.The other would be to enable WINEDBG stuff or possibly use
straceto figure out what it did before throwing that exception.Have you tried 32-bit wine?
PARTIAL SOLUTION I read on the WineHQ page that you need directx 2.0 installed, I had the newest directx. This allows the software to start, but theres still some error. I’ll troubleshoot and post again if I can’t find anything.
