Yes, and I found the fix. Thank you for telling me, as I would never have figured a registry problem.  
For anyone else who finds this thread and needs help, I found it here.  
"The problem seems to only happen if the HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Garmin\MapSource\Families registry key is missing (like it is on a fresh install of Mapsource). If it already exist, the auto installer works flawlessly."

I added this registry key and this fixed it right up for me. I just had to go to View>switch to Product> and there were my maps!

I got this to work on my Vista machine, but it doesn't want to work with my Windows 7 machine.  My Mapsource doesn't even look like the picture in the tutorials. When I tried to upload from my GPS, I get the error message Some Products cannot be opened because the following Mapsource products are not installed Hawaii Topo.

Any suggestions? Did they just plug a hole?

It's one of the reasons I bought their product.....

I registered just to tell you that on a clean Acer laptop machine with Windows Vista SP1, installing Basecamp, then MapSource worked perfectly.  I'll let you know tomorrow if the whole thing works with my GPS.

Of course, it might only work for my specific setup.....;~) Your mileage may vary.
