Hi,
 
I am also trying to install JavaScript API locally, it is working from a url for example http://localhost/arcgis_js_api/library/2.7/jsapi/, but when I put it inside a webpage that will display the map, it is not working properly, it is through a javascript error:- Microsoft JScript runtime error: '3' is null or not an object, Please help if you know the solution?

you can also just rename them back to arcgis and arcgis_compact, respectively

I downloaded the API and noticed some changes that are not reflected in the installation documentation. System here: Windows.* I install the API and the default path is: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_api\library\2.6\jsapi\ The install path on the previous versions was c:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_api\library\2.6\arcgis\* The install.htm says you have to adjust the 3 files and change [HOSTNAME_AND_PATH_TO_JSAPI] to axxlserver/arcgis_js_api/library/2.6/arcgis/ it should be: Change [HOSTNAME_AND_PATH_TO_JSAPI] toaxxlserver/arcgis_js_api/library/2.6/jsapi/* Same with the Test Code. It refers to the "arcgis" URL path of the installation. Should be "jsapi". Same with the compact build. It's now "jsapicompact" not the old "arcgis_compact". I don't know how the API works, if you change the folders to the old names. I installed it successfully with the above changes in the 3 files:* C:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_api\library\2.6\jsapi\js\esri\esri.js * C:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_api\library\2.6\jsapi\js\dojo\dojo\dojo.xd.js * C:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_api\library\2.6\jsapi\js\dojo\dojo\dojo.xd.js.uncompressed.js And the test sample is now with this two URLs (which are different to the 2.5 release): Simple Map

Hope that helps, Axel
