Florida TOPO Cant create REG file

[Neal]

I give up I am using MapsetToolkit V1.77. I followed the instructions several times to upload the .img files to mapsource. Mapsettoolkit goes through the motions only to give me an error message "Can't create REG file".
HELP

Why are you messing around with MapsetToolkit and the Florida Topo? Are you talking about this? http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/123/

That map includes an installer that will put the map into Mapsource with one click:

For windows download and run setup. The map will then appear in Garmin MapSource and can be added to your GPS by selecting it in MapSource and sending it to the GPSr.

Depending on how your browser is configured, it will either run the setup program automatically or you may have to double-click on the downloaded .exe file. Do not mess with the .img files. They are only intended for Mapsource's internal use. Mapsettoolkit is used by Map authors to generate the install files. In a few rare cases it might be needed if no installer is provided. But that isn't the case with this map.

The self installers install ALL the mapset.  It simply 'unzips' the files to the default or folder of your choise and makes the proper changes to the Window's registry so MapSource and BaseCamp can 'see' the mapset.  MS/BC only checks the registry at start-up so neither will see a mapset installed while they were open.
