MAPA.exe has stopped working on Version 16 student demo
I have uninstalled the program several times and retried thinking it was something I was doing. I have turned off my antivirus as I read for the version 15 that might be causing the mapa.exe message.
Do you have any suggestions of what to do? I still have the student files to download after this gets completely installed so unsure if that has to do with the property value problem or not.
Thanks!

Re: MAPA.exe has stopped working on Version 16 student demo
I am wondering if I need to return the CD and ask for a new one as this one is not working, my other computer is down so I can't see if it does the same thing on both computers or not. My laptop is a Sony Vaio and I JUST bought it, this is one of the first programs I have put on it.
Thanks again!

Go through the install process slowly and look for any error messages.

Re: MAPA.exe has stopped working on Version 16 student demo
Background:
I was getting the same error message as the OP and tried all of the steps listed here, to no avail. I uninstalled, then reinstalled, tried the v17 Demo, everything. Same problem.
Then I did some digging myself. I deleted all the data from the MediData folder and launched the program again. Not finding the data, the program reinstalled the tutorial data and opened. I concluded then that it wasn't the program itself that was causing the error, but the data: somehow it is getting corrupted.
At this point I reinstalled the Student Data, at which point the error returned. This is when I called the support desk.
Solution:
The representative explained that Medisoft saves the location of the Data when it closes, and that overwriting that data causes the program to look for data that isn't there when it launches, which results in a program halt.
To fix this, hold down the F7 key on your keyboard, and then while holding it down double click on the MediSoft shortcut. This launches the program with the option to select the data to use. I selected the Student Data I installed earlier, and the program started without a hitch.
The representative did ask me what operating system and what PC manufacturer built my computer, so these steps may change depending on those factors. In that case, I would recommend calling 800-331-5094 and getting specific instructions for your computer, if these steps don't work for you.
Hope this helps anyone else that runs into this problem in the future.
