Reinitiating secondary installer for Map® 3D 2007

You would like to reinitiate the secondary installer in order to reset the default Map® 3D 2007 user settings.

To reset the Map® 3D 2007 default user settings, you must first delete the user's application files and registry entries for the program. Make sure you back up any customized Map 3D 2007 files before you implement the following procedure. 

1. Log on to the workstation as the user.
2. On the Start menu (Windows), click Run.
3. In the Run dialog box, enter regedit.
4. In the Registry Editor, locate the following subkey and delete it:
   
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.0\ACAD-5002:409



5. Exit the Registry Editor.
6. In Windows Explorer, locate and delete the user's application folders listed below.
   
   C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Autodesk\Autodesk Map 3D 2007
   
   C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\Autodesk Map 3D 2007

The user should now be able to launch Map 3D 2007. When the product is opened, the files and folders that were deleted will be recreated by the secondary installer.
