Is there a way of turning off the Marketplace in v2019?
Nicholas G Lawrence
Hello all,
My client does not have an “always-on” internet connection.
So when they start MapInfo v2019, it tries to connect to the internet, and then flashes an error “Error fetching marketplace search data. Marketplace search disabled in QuickSearch.”

I have done that.
On startup, MapInfo still asks for a connection to the internet, and it still displays the error “Error fetching marketplace search data. Marketplace search disabled in QuickSearch.”
I even deleted the Marketplace.mbx and it still has the same errors.

I think I have found it.
It is a combination of two tools in the Tool Manager
The Marketplace tool connects to the MapInfo marketplace, which is where the user can browse for data and tools to purchase. Obviously, we want to turn this tool off.
The Quick Search tool is there to allow a user to type in a keyword and then search for the relevant button in the ribbon interface. It can also search the marketplace. It is possible to turn off the searching of the marketplace whilst leaving on the searching of buttons in the ribbon interface.
So, I can tell my client how to manually set these tools so that the error does not occur.
My next question is, what settings during installation control the default installation of tools within the tool manager? What options do I have to set which tools have AutoLoad ticked on during installation? I am configuring the software packaging of MapInfo to several hundred people in my organisation and I want to automate as much of this as I can.

Yes, I have to right-click on QuickSearch and then un-tick “Search MapInfo Marketplace”
That is the manual fix.
Is there an automatic fix?
Where is the Tool Manager settings stored?
How does Tool Manager know what tools should be autoloaded and what are the settings inside individual tools?

Hmm
In the folder
C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\1900\Tools\QuickSearch
Is a file
QuickSearch.dll.config
The contents of which are
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="Enable_Command_Highlight" value="True"/>
<add key="Command_Highlight_TimeSpan_Seconds" value="5"/>
<add key="Command_Highlight_Brush" value="Blue"/>
<add key="Search_Marketplace" value="True"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
So perhaps I could directly edit the second last line so that Search Marketplace = False?
And that could be done automatically by my packaging software?

In the MapInfo Pro installation folder, there is a file called REGINFO64.INI.
It contains the list of tools to register when a new user starts MapInfo Pro on the computer.
For each tool, there is a setting that controls if the tool is to be autoloaded or not:
[CatalogBrowser]
Title=Catalog Browser
Description=This utility allows the user to search any OGC-compliant CSW catalog. When this tool is loaded the Catalog Browser can be started by selecting Open > Web Services > Catalog(CSW).
ImageUri=pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Tools/toolCatalogBrowser_16x16.png
Autoload=0
[CommandEditor]
Title=Keyboard Shortcuts
Description=MapInfoPro Keyboard Shortcut editor allows customizing keyboard short-cuts and command resources by creating/editing a user specific copy of the MapInfoPro.MNU file.
ImageUri=pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Tools/keyboard_16x16.png
Autoload=1

Nick, have you asked our support team about this issue?
I seem to recall that we fixed the issue but maybe that was in v2021, not sure.
