Downloading and Installing the User Dictionary Utility

The MapInfo User Dictionary Utility is an easy-to-use utility that simplifies the steps for creating, configuring, and deploying User Dictionaries. The tool can be downloaded from http://www.mapinfo.com/support/downloads. Select MapMarker from the applications list, and follow the instructions to download the MapInfo User Dictionary Utility to your Envinsa installation.

Begin the installation procedure as follows, depending on whether you are installing on Windows or on UNIX/Linux:
On Microsoft Windows, run the install.exe program that you downloaded.
On Solaris, Linux, or HP-UX, run the command:

sh install.bin

Note : If the installer does not start or exits unexpectedly, it means that the installer could not find a valid JVM. In that case, run the installer with one of the following commands to manually specify the JVM.

install.exe LAX_VM "C:\JavaHome\bin\java.exe"

Or:

sh install.bin LAX_VM /JavaHome/bin/java

where JavaHome is the directory of the JVM to be used to run the installer. This JVM must be version 1.4.2 or greater.

In the Introduction dialog, click Next to display the License Agreement dialog.
After reading the License Agreement, click I accept the terms of the License Agreement, and then click Next to display the Select Geocoding Directory dialog.
In the Select Geocoding Directory dialog, specify your existing Envinsa Data Domain directory. The default data domain for Envinsa 4.1 and later is C:\Program Files\DataDomain and for 4.0 it is C:\Program Files\Envinsa-4.0\DataDomain.



Click Next to continue.

In the Choose Geocoding Installations dialog, you will see a list of paths pointing to country specific geocode instances. These paths represent the installed Envinsa countries for which you can build User Dictionaries. From the list, select the countries for which you want to create User Dictionaries using this instance of the User Dictionary Utility.



After making the path selections, click Next to continue.

In the Product Instance Name dialog, type an Instance Name. This name will be used to uniquely identify this instance of the MapInfo User Dictionary Utility (on the Start menu or Desktop shortcut).



After typing the instance name, click Next to continue.

In the Choose Install Folder dialog, select the directory in which the MapInfo User Dictionary Utility will be installed. Typically, the default directory might be C:\Program Files\MapInfo\User Dictionary Utility. Either accept the default directory or click Choose to navigate to an alternative directory. Click Next to continue.
In the Choose Java Virtual Machine dialog, do one of the following:
Select one of the already installed JVMs (version 1.4.2 or later) to be used by the MapInfo User Dictionary Utility.
Select Choose Another to navigate to an alternative location of a JVM on your computer. Choose a JVM associated with a Envinsa installation that you plan to use with the MapInfo User Dictionary Utility.
Select Search for Others to have the installer search your computer for an installed JVM. As the search progresses, the dialog will be populated with a list of the JVMs that were found on your computer. This may take some time.

The Choose Java Virtual Machine dialog appears as follows:



After selecting a JVM, Click Next to continue.

In the Choose Shortcut Folder dialog, choose where you want to create the product icons. You can create a new Program Group, place the icons in an existing Program Group, or make other choices. After making your selections, click Next to continue.
In the Pre-Installation Summary dialog, review the disk space requirements and your install selections. To edit any selections, click the Previous button to go back to the previous dialogs. When you are satisfied with your installation choices, click Install. A progress dialog reports progress as the software and data are installing.
When the installation is finished, the Install Complete message appears. Click Done to exit the installer.

Once the Utility is installed, you can create user dictionaries and use them to perform custom geocoding. See Creating and Using Dictionaries for more information.
