Hi everyone, I'm very new to working with ArcGIS software, so apologies in advance if this is a basic or obvious issue — I’m just trying to get this installation working and could really use some help. I'm trying to install ArcGIS Desktop 10.4.1 from an ISO I downloaded from Esri. The reason I’m installing this specific version is because I already have Geoconex Editor installed, which I believe uses ArcGIS Engine 10.4.1 Runtime, and I want to stay compatible. When I run the installer for Desktop, I get the following message: "Upgrade requirement not met. ArcGIS 10.4 for Desktop cannot be installed until the following products are upgraded to 10.4 or uninstalled." But below that message, it doesn’t actually list any conflicting products — the box is totally blank. The help text says it applies to previous versions like 10.1, 10.2, or 10.3.1, but I don’t think I have any of those installed. Just in case, I ran this in Command Prompt to check what ArcGIS stuff is installed:  wmic product get name,version | findstr /i "arcgis" The only results I get are: ArcGIS Pro 3.3.52636 ArcGIS 10.4.1 Engine 10.4.5686   I’m assuming the problem is that I already have ArcGIS Engine 10.4.1, and the Desktop installer is seeing it as a conflict — even though they’re the same version. I’d like to know for sure before I start uninstalling anything. Also worth mentioning: I don’t see any older ArcGIS Desktop versions (like 10.1–10.3.x) in Programs & Features. There is no “Utilities” folder in the ISO I downloaded, so I don’t have access to the ArcGIS Uninstall Utility unless it’s available separately. I’ve tried running the installer as Administrator and cleared my temp files — no change. My questions: Is the install being blocked because of the 10.4.1 Engine already being installed? Do I need to uninstall the Engine, then install Desktop, then reinstall the Engine afterward? If so, how can I get the Engine installer again if I need it back for Geoconex Editor? Thanks so much for any help. I’m just learning all of this as I go, and I really appreciate your patience and advice.   ... View more

I am looking for a way to automate the upgrade process for ArcGIS Pro using the application's built-in capability. I know I can find and download the MSP patches and automate their install, but I was looking for a way to upgrade using the same mechanism ArcGIS Pro uses to find, download, and install the latest update. I found ArcGISUpdate.exe within the applicaton bin directory, and Pro creates a copy under the user's AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\ArcGISUpdate\ArcGISPro directory, but neither program will operate by simply running it - they generates an "Update failed. Download server could not be reached..." error, and I can find no command line switches they will accept. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! ... View more

I recently received an upgrade to my PC and am running Windows 10 Enterprise 64 bit. It apparently is fully compatible with ArcGIS 10.3.1, so it should not be an issue. I am frequently losing data connections with data that is stored in a filedatabase. The featureclass is not affected in any way, other than losing edits. When I restart the featurclass is there, I just have to repeat my edits. This will happen many times throughout the day and is very frustrating. It is not a network issue as the network is always available and unaffected. It also does not appear to affect data from the SDE. Only data in a filedatabse. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so what was the resolve? Thank you ... View more
