CSV Client for ArcGIS 10 (Windows7) failed

Question

hi,

I have installed the CSW client for ArcMap 10 on Windows 7.  When the tool is initialize in ArcMap, it failed because he can't find a config file (see attachment for visual):

"...can't find C:\Program Files\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\Data\CSWProfiles.xml..."

Since I'am in Windows 7, the search path does'nt exist but this one does:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\Data\CSWProfiles.xml

I have changed the invalid patch in this file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\bin\CswClient
to 
dataFolder=C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\Data

In the registry, there's no variable with the invalid path so I wonder why he still search for it on load?

Is it somehow "harcoded" in the csw client code?

Thank Clive for your quick response.
BUT for your information, there is also a CswClient.properties file in this directory (which has no effect when loading into ArcMap)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\bin"

Thanks for noting that.  Yes, the 2nd cswClient.properties file (in "C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\bin") is non-functional.  I recently found the same thing in the PublishClient installation and submitted a feature request to change that.  I will submit a similar feature request to eliminate the redundant CswClient.properties file too.

Thank Clive for your quick response.

Just like you did, I have installed the csw client in the default path proposed by setup:(Program Files (x86).

Just like you recommand, I changed the path variable in this file
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Bin\CswClient.properties" and it's working now:
dataFolder=C:\Program Files\ESRI\Geoportal\CswClients\Data
for 
dataFolder=C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\Data

BUT for your information, there is also a CswClient.properties file in this directory (which has no effect when loading into ArcMap)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\bin"

Thanks again!

MartinO,
Just ran the setup on my Windows 7 computer and the CSW client works fine .  I accepted all the default setup locations for the install location and log file.  I wonder if you installed initially to the "Program Files" directory for 64-bit programs rather than the "Program Files (x86)" directory.

The configuration variables get set in the CswClient.properties file in your ArcGIS installation directory (e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Bin").

You can try to edit that file.  If that doesn't work, I would suggest an uninstall and reinstall.
