Model Maker Software Update Issue in version 20.03

If you receive an error message stating, “The Model Maker Systems update server connection is being blocked by a Firewall or Proxy Server”.

  1. First determine if you have a 64bit or a 32bit model maker installed. To do the check, right click your windows button on your Task Bar and then click on System 
  2. If it says 32-bit, then skip to step 6 and download the 32-bit link below
  3. If it says 64-bit, you also need to check what version of Model Maker you are running, because a 32-bit install will also work on a 64-bit pc, so you have one more step to be sure of your model maker installation version:
  4. If your Model Maker is installed under C:\Program Files (x86)\MMSystems, you are using a 32-bit Model Maker so you also need to download the 32-bit link below.
  5. If your Model Maker is installed under C:\Program Files\MMSystems, (not x86) you are using a 64-bit Model Maker so you need to download the 64-bit link below.
  6. After downloading the appropriate version, please unzip the downloaded zip file and look inside the unzipped folder:for 32-bit :  copy the MMSAssistant.exe file only (not the folders, just the file) into C:\Program Files (x86)\MMSystems\MM folder like this:

    for 64-bit : copy the MMSAssistant.exe into C:\Program Files\MMSystems\MM folder like this:
  7. After placing the MMSAssistant.exe into the correct folder, double click or run the file. Follow prompts, Model Maker will sort itself out.

Google Earth Pro to Model Maker 64bit fix

Start here: It might be a simple file-type association problem. Your Google Earth is not set up as the default app to open KML files. Here is the fix

If that does not work, check your Google Earth version, it may be too new:

If your Model Maker will not exchange data with Google Earth Pro, it is because your Google Earth Pro updated itself to version 7.3.3 or newer. Google Earth is at fault, not Model Maker!!! Google decided to remove support for external programs (like Model Maker) to connect to it and use its data in the latest version of Google Earth Pro.

IMPORTANT:

Use your usual IT support provider, don’t call MMS Design for this. If you do, we will charge you a fee for the support on this matter since this is not a Model Maker Systems-related problem.

RESOLUTION:

By downgrading your Google Earth to an earlier version that supports external app access will solve the issue. Step 1: Check your Google Earth version. If it is version 7.3.3 then you are affected.

  • In Google Earth Pro click on Help > About to see your version

Step 2: Uninstall your version 7.3.3 Google Earth Pro

  • Use IT support, don’t call MMS Design for this. If you do, we will charge you a fee for the support on this matter since this is not a Model Maker Systems-related problem.

Step 3: Download version 7.1.8 for your PC and install

Download links:

Google Earth 7.1.8.3036

When you run this version and it tells you about a newer version that is available, please ignore it AND DO NOT UPDATE! This version (as far as we know) will not auto-update to version 7.3.3. For how long 7.1.8 will be available, we can not say.

IMPORTANT!!

You follow these steps at your own risk. MMS Design can not be held responsible for these steps. We supply this info because Google Earth Pro did not install itself properly on your PC, they slipped up not us. We do this out of our own goodwill to help our clients to repair your faulty/incomplete Google Earth registry registration.

Step 4: If Google Earth is now open and running, close it. Now you need to make a backup of your registry. Follow this step in the pdf file:

Step 5: Download then run this registry update: Google Earth Registry Patch and say OK to everything. Try Model Maker again.
