Installation

Pre-requisites

Mapestry can be installed on any Windows PC, independent of other Cadcorp products. It only requires URL access to a licensed version of Cadcorp Webmap 9.1.64-bit (version 2646 or later).

This is required for licencing and access to Maps.

Note: WebMap and GeognoSIS do not need to be installed locally but you will need their URLs to work with Mapestry.

For optimum web page display, Mapestry also requires 'Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime'. This is usually present in most servers but it will be automatically detected and copied (if needed) during Mapestry installation.
