Geoanalytics Desktop Tools "Join Features" and "Summarize Within" fail to execute

Adam1

Hello,

I'm trying out some Geoanalytics Desktop Tools, but get the following error message when I try to execute "Join Features" or "Summarize Within":

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis pro\Resources\ArcToolbox\scripts\ga_desktop_summarizewithin.py", line 53, in <module>

    raise Exception("Java gateway process exited before sending its port number")
Exception: Java gateway process exited before sending its port number

Failed script (null)...

Failed to execute (SummarizeWithin).

 I tried some Java new/reinstalling of the JDK/setting JAVA_HOME, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it or if I did it right.

I am on Windows 10 and use ArcGIS Pro 2.9.3. Any ideas are greatly appreciated, I have no idea whatsoever how I could fix this, but it seems like it has nothing to do with the parameters I set for the tool, I guess?

It is for connecting a car-data-feature (point, speed, ...) to data of changing digital traffic signs on a motorway (e. g. changing speed limits). The motorway data is in 1-minute intervalls (instant-time field) and the car-data in "random" instant time stamps. I want to connect the "matching times".

I'm sorry I am not sure what further information you need.

Thank you.

Hi @Adam1,
The failure you're seeing is due to ArcGIS Pro's install location. The GeoAnalytics Desktop toolbox is not supported when ArcGIS Pro is installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)". We will work on adding this to documentation so that it's clear to folks who encounter it in the future. As a workaround, is installing ArcGIS Pro in a different location an option? Anywhere in "C:\Program Files" should work, otherwise I recommend a location that does not have parenthesis, spaces, or special characters in the path. 

Best regards,
