Hello,
Arcmap 10.3.1 hungs on Initializaing Application phase.
it happens on Win7 and Win8.1 machines
1. normal.mxt renamed - no effect
2. ESRI folder renamed - no effect
3. Esriconnector.exe (or whatever, which lies in programfiles\common files\esri\arcmap\bin\connector) renamed - no effect
4. tmp and temp folders moved to C: and there is enough free space
5. arcgis reinstalled via add/remove programs - no effect
6. ms xmls parsers installed/reinstalled, phyton 7.12 installed/reinstalled - no luck
7. think i spend over few days in diffrent forums, tryn different option - no luck. Seems like only option - remove argis then reinstall, but this works only for some time.
