End-Users License Agreement and Terms of Use

By downloading and installing Veta, users adhere to Veta end-users’ license agreement and terms of use.

IMPORTANT

Maps in Veta versions prior to 8.1 no longer work due to the retirement of Bing Maps on June 30, 2025. Later versions of Veta use Azure Maps.

MSIX installations of Veta 8.0.62 and earlier must be manually uninstalled.

Download

We recommend downloading Veta from the Microsoft Store. This option automatically installs any missing required software from Microsoft and provides automatic updates. If the Microsoft Store is disabled on your computer, you may still able to download and install Veta, depending upon your organization’s policies.

An MSIX installation is also provided. Internet access may be required to download required software from Microsoft. If you do not have internet access, instructions for downloading the requirements manually are provided in the Installation Guide below.

Veta can be uninstalled by right-clicking the app in the Start menu and selecting Uninstall.

MSIX Installation

The Desktop App Installer is required to install MSIX packages. The Microsoft Visual C++ UWP Desktop Runtime Package is required. If this is not installed, Windows will attempt to download it during the installation. If this is not possible, winget can be used to download and install the package. The id for the package is “Microsoft.VCLibs.Desktop.14”.

The installation itself does not require administrative privileges, but it is possible that a computer’s security policy is configured to not allow the installation. If this happens, please contact the person(s) responsible for managing your computer.
