  • 1.  MapInfo on M1 MacBook with ARM64 emulation

    Posted 02-13-2022 11:16
    Hi everyone. I have been running MapInfo in Parallels on an Intel MacBook for a couple years but I was recently evergreened with a M1 MacBook and have not been successful in getting MapInfo to launch. The application installed without issues and Windows 11 now is supposed to be able to emulate 64-bit apps but when I launch MapInfo it doesn't start. The icon doesn't appear in the application bar, the MapInfo banner doesn't show and in Task Manager it just pops up for a second and then disappears as if it is crashing on start. There are no error messages displayed and MapInfo support was unable to help since this is not a supported configuration. 

    Has anyone had success in getting this running? Anywhere I could go to read crash logs to try to figure out the issue?

    Thanks so much!!!

    Hi. Works for me.

    I installed a lot of any C++ runtime

    Did you document by any chance what you installed to get it to work?

    I install:
    vc_redist.arm64.exe
    vc_redist.x64.exe (2015)
    But anyway, the printer driver was not installed (can be used from adobe)

    (Macbook air M1, Parallels last version)

    Thanks for that! It started but then closed due to license issues


    Reached out to Precisely support but I think we're making progress!

    The solution was to uninstall and reinstall MapInfo. Once I did that everything works with the C++ redistributables Max_Map suggested. Thanks so much for your help!

    Can I ask what version of Windows 11 you are running inside Paralells? I'm hoping to do this installation on my M1 Macbook soon and this thread has already been invaluable.
