The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Automap Streets Plus for Windows, version 5.0 == 

= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Automap Streets Plus reads map data from a single file on the CD-ROM for the best performance. The map data file is 500 MB file and cannot be copied to the hard drive without copying the entire CD-ROM. Automap Streets Plus only recognizes the map data from the location where it was installed.

The following is a workaround that you can use to run Automap Streets Plus from a hard drive.

NOTE: This workaround requires almost 700 MB of hard disk space.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The following workaround describes some basic steps for copying the complete contents of the Automap Streets Plus CD-ROM to a hard drive using MS-DOS commands.

  Click the Start button, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt.   Type the following command to create an installation folder in which to store the Automap Streets Plus files on your hard drive: md   Type the following command to copy all the files from the Automap Streets Plus CD-ROM into the newly created folder: xcopy d:*.* /s c: where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive and C is the letter of your hard drive.   Type “Exit” (without the quotation marks) to return to Windows.   Run Setup.exe from the C:folder on your hard drive.   Follow the screen instructions to install Automap Streets Plus. </li></ol>

Automap Streets Plus should now run from your hard drive by reading the map data from the installation folder on your hard drive.

NOTE: This is a workaround. These steps may not work in all situations.
