Hello,
Our local Government has a GIS site that requires Auto Desk Map viewer.
I use Mozilla as my internet browser. But Mozilla has never been able to download and run the Map Viewer.
Is there a version of software that could run on Mozilla?
I would be very glad if someone solves that for me.
Thank you.

Hi,
Autodesk is no longer supporting MapGuide 6.5 and its viewers.
The viewer works with Win2000, Win XP, Vista and Win7, including the 32 & 64 bit versions of Win7 operating systems.
The viewer file is only for the Internet Explorer browser, versions IE6 – 8 except for IE8-64bit.
MapPlace does not work with IE8-64 bit browser. You must use the 32 bit version.
But you can try Autodesk MapGuide plugin for Netscape and Firefox which is available here.
Thanking you
Franke Mary

You will have to check the following problems most likely
-
Your computer must have administrator rights
-
Newer browsers; Firefox, safari, chrome or any other newer ones are not supported but can work if you have the Java Edition MapGuide Viewer or the plugin MapGuide Viewer intended for Netscape 4. X installed.
-
If your web browser's security is set too high or you have an anti-virus or add-in tools, they may block pop-ups resulting in error reports.
-
Internet Explorer add-ins or toolbars such as the Google Toolbar may interfere with the MapGuide Viewer.
-
Your Internet Explorer security settings may be set too high.
-
Your organization's network may have a firewall or proxy server that blocks access to our MapGuide server.

The use of Autodesk MapGuide Viewer is supported until Windows XP only. If you are using Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10, you cannot install Autodesk MapGuide Viewer. If you have a supported operating system, go to Install Autodesk MapGuide Viewer, Java Edition Release 6.5 SP1 and download the version for your computer.
If you have an older version of Autodesk MapGuide Viewer, Java Edition currently installed on your computer, you need to uninstall it first. For the Microsoft Windows operating system, the supported browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer. This means it will not work on Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, and other web browsers. You will know your operating system is supported by checking the message under “Automatic Installer”.
Mine reads as follows since I’m using 64-bit Microsoft Windows 7:
“Your computer’s platform is not supported.”
