Mappoint North America can't run

Just something I've picked up along the way. If you're seeing the following message when trying to use the MapPoint VB control (MappointControl.ocx):

"MapPoint North America can't run because it is not registered on your system, or it can't be found. Install MapPoint North America and try again."

Try going to start -> run and typing (including quotes):

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft MapPoint\Mappoint.exe" /regserver

If you have Mappoint installed to a different location than the default, replace the location above with the correct path. However, make sure that while the path stays in quotes, the /regserver is outside the quotes and separated from the path with a space, as above.
