How to install the FME Redistributable:

1. Install Avenza MAPublisher version 8.6 or later

2. Download and install Microsoft VS 2008 redistributable package from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en

3. Download the Avenza FME redistributable and unzip it into a permanent folder on your computer (e.g. C:\FME). You will need to remember this location for Step 5.

4. Run regedit.exe and navigate to the following key
•	On a 32 bit system:
o	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Safe Software Inc.\FME Objects\OEM\Core Router
•	On a 64 bit system:
o	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Safe Software Inc.\FME Objects\OEM\Core Router

5. Change _the values_ (the Data column) of all the entries that mention Adobe Illustrator from their default values to "<your_fme_redistributable_location>\fme.dll". Do NOT change the names of the values (the Name column)

6. Now please run the application. FFS format should be now available in the import formats list

Example:
•	If you have Adobe CS5.1 Illustrator installed under
o	"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5"
•	and you have unzipped your fme redistributable into
o	C:\FME
•	there after the modifications you should be the following entry in the registry:
o	Name:
•	C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe IllustratorCS5\SupportFiles\Contents\Windows\fme.dll
o	Value:
•	C:\FME\fme.dll

This will create a mapping between the "loader" fme.dll in your \Adobe Illustrator folder and the "real" fme.dll in your FME redistributable installation.
