What control are you referencing? And how are you adding it? Every machine has it installed unless you have some admin restrictions like I pointed out. There's no way it can't be there - it can only be restricted.

>>The WebBrowser control is a system component so there should be nothing to install or configure - it should always work.

>>The other issue that might be happening though is the fact the control uses IE7 by default and you're probably using a public mapping API. It's quite likely that the mapping API may have discontinued support for IE7 and that's why the map no longer works.
