In addition to the steps mentioned above, I also had to create a new annotation group before copy/paste of graphics would work in ArcMap. The default setting always allowed for pasting prior to 10.6.1 (in my case, but never used 10.5). And also never required matching annotation CRS to data frame. ... View more

Thanks Laurene. I ran the vc_redist.x86 in this location \SetupFiles\Support\VCREDIST after uninstalling all C++ redists. It effectively installed 12 C++ redists from 2005-2017, both x86 and x64 versions (see pic below). After this, setup.exe still wouldn't run. Actually, this time setup.exe didn't throw the error in the screenshot above (it was throwing error earlier) but it did nothing at all. Totally unresponsive. When I ran setup.msi, thats when the error message displayed. Note that the 14.12.25810 redist in the error wasn't installed in the ArcGIS 10.6.1 support files redist. A more recent version installed instead (14.15.26706). Now I'm going back to Microsoft downloads and manually installing all these above versions. ... View more

Thanks Michael. I tested 10.6.1 setup on another machine with no ArcGIS software or history of install, an older C++ package, and setup ran successfully. Following your logic about "remnant" 10.3.1 files being the culprit, I uninstalled 10.3.1 via Control Panel-->Programs (though I question how thorough a Windows uninstall really is), manually deleted Windows ArcGIS 10.3 Program (x86 and App Data) folders, and even removed Esri software entries from the registry. Then I uninstalled C++ packages entirely. Setup exe still wouldn't run (If incorrect C++ version, setup should auto-install the correct C++, this .exe file exists in the setup package). I've endured this  "purging" process twice now, on my own time and on the phone with Esri support. Still nothing. ... View more

OK, now I understand. I'm curious about the directions that will be output if the LR vertices are used as stops. Like you mentioned, this LR route is pretty hi res and heavy with vertices. Will the resulting direction be showing a text line for each stop, at 0.001 mi intervals (the resolution of the route line)? If so, that would need to be cleaned up considerably. It seems to me another point dataset of turns would need to be input to determine the direction "breaks" that indicate turning from one road onto another. These turn points would seem to make better stops than the converted vertices, but maybe my thinking is incorrect. I should probably just test.... Again, I appreciate your insight here.... ...

Wow, really? That process (Find Route) is very slow and cumbersome for my purposes. Plus, the routes themselves are already resolved. Because these are bike routes, they often do not fit standard route calculation criteria (not least distance/time/cost and can often follow trails instead of roads), so they have to be forced a certain way. Hence all the stops. Perhaps this is more general forum discussion, but do you know of any other toolset I can use to produce these directions from the linear referenced route (after adding streets data)? I figured technology was now there..... Thanks again for your help..... ... View more

Thanks Melinda. I'm creating a set of long distance bike route maps that require simple block text descriptions for turn directions, including distances...."1.5 mi Turn right onto Main St, 5.5 mi Turn left onto Broadway, etc". The linear referenced routes were created to generate other derivative map elements like elevation profile graphics, GPS tracks, and to calculate distances between turns. The missing data for these routes are the streets traversed, so I realized I would have to add this using some method. Creating a simple network dataset seemed like a possible good option. In the past we've used the Find Route tool and NA route services to recreate these routes and pull directions, but it was very tedious placing numerous stops along routes that are thousands of miles long. Getting back to part of my initial inquiry, does NA support these linear referenced routes as inputs? Do I need to add the streets attribution before inputting? Thanks! ... View more

Figured out the issue. Seems that the "Profile Graph" button will not work for a feature that is in a grouped layer in the mxd. ... View more
