Installed GDBT tools for 10 and it does not show up to use in ArcCatalog or ArcMap

JimmyHensarling — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 13:17:12 GMT

I have installed 10 and sp 1 for 10. I downloaded the new version of GDBT for 10 and installed it. However, the GDBT tools do not show up anywhere in ArcCatalog or ArcMap.

I installed if for 9.3.1 and have the same problem. The dotnet support is there but no GDBT tab in ArcCatalog.

This is used in ArcCatalog only, you won't see anything in ArcMap.
Did you have any install problems?

Hi All,
This appears to happen if you haven't installed ArcGIS to the default location - that's my experience anyway. Anyone come up with a work around?
Thanks,

I have the same problem. Open ArcCatalog there is no GDBT tab.
My arcgis is not installed in "c:\programm files....". So this may be the reason for it.

I can't install this at all. I assume after you complete the install, the tab and toolbar appear automatically in ArcCatalog i.e. you don't have to enable anything.

I did install The GDBT tools to a different location to the default, although ArcGIS is in the default program files directory.

I've tried running the install.exe from within the GDBT folder and all but one of the files copies (see attached screenshot)

I found a solution for this and it also works with the latest version as well 10.3.1.

1. Make sure you have local admin rights to the computer

2. In order to run the setup on newer versions 10.x to 10.3.1 add this entry to the registry, this was provided by

other users on GeoNet many thanks! copy the windows registry files below to a notepad and save it as a .reg file

example: filename.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ESRI\Desktop10.0]

"InstallDir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ArcGIS\\Desktop10.1\\"

3. Run the reg file on your computer deepening on where you save it. (it requires admin rights)

4. Start the GDBT tool setup.exe process

5. During the installation process you will receive an error message: Module C:\Program files (x86)

\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\bin\SDEUtilSvr10.dll failed to register: HRESULT -2147024770. Contact your support

personnel.

Click continue and when done click close

When you install the tool, it creates a new folder under:

C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\bin\SDEUtilSvr10.dll

This is for a 64 bit computer so if you have a 32 bit it might be under

C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\bin\SDEUtilSvr10.dll

6. If you have ArCatalog 10.3.1 go to that folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.3 or depending on

your version.

Copy the file SDEUtilSvr10.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\bin\ to

C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.3\bin

7. Lets register the file:

Go to Start and under search type CMD do no open it yet

Right click and select Run as Administrator

at this point you should be at C:\Windows\System32 if not make sure you get there using the CD command

Type regsver32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.3\bin\SDEUtilSvr10.dll"

You should get Succeeded when registering the .dll

DO NOT forget the parenthesis otherwise it will not work!

Enjoy!

This Also works for Version 10.4.1 Just change the directory to the following location listed below and copy the file here and don't forget to register the file using CMD.

C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.4\bin

I managed to get GDBT tools to ArcGIS 10.5.1 arc catalog. In this help tread what is missing, is download link of GDBT tool .exe file. I found already downloaded exe file in one of our archived folders in 2015. So I installed successfully Thank You. All the Esri links for download it came up with error 4o4 page not found.

Thanks Jorge!

I'm glad you got it working. The GDBT tool used to be available back then via GeoNet links, I forgot the include them back then. I do have a copy when I download it and can share it as needed. This tool is not supported anymore and that's one of the reasons it has been removed. You might get an error message when working in Catalog, but I usually ignore it, this does not affect anything at all. It has been very helpful because I have scripted versioning and compress using python and I can see when the state tree is back to zero . I have it working in ArcCatalog 10.5.1 as well.

Thank you Mahinda!

Jorge

Hello fellow Legacy Software Maintainers, there appears to be a problem running the GDBT toolset with ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.1. This problem may also occur with ArcGIS Desktop 10.7.1 but I have not tested this. Despite using the registry workaround described by @JorgeHernandez1 above, the following error appears when attempting to view the GDBT Versioning Lineage tool:

Error: VersioningLineageVB:Class_Initialize//Component 'TSVX9V~1.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

I managed to get the GDBT Versioning Lineage tool working on 10.8.1 by doing the following. Note that you follow these instructions at your own risk.

The error above occurs because later versions of ArcGIS Desktop install a more recent version of the .dll and .ocx files which reside in the following location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Tom Sawyer Software

ArcGIS 10.8.1 creates a folder under the above location called "10.1.0"

ArcGIS 10.6.1 creates a folder under the above location called "8.0.0"

The GDBT toolset relies on version 8.0.0 being available, and all the .dll and .ocx files inside the folder must be registered. So, if you have upgraded to 10.8.1 you need to get a copy of the 8.0.0 folder from another machine that has ArcGIS 10.6.1 installed. Copy the 8.0.0 folder onto your machine into the same location (under the "Tom Sawyer Software" folder. Then open Command Prompt as an Administrator, cd to the 8.0.0 folder and then type the following commands to register the .dll and .ocx files:

FOR %1 IN (*.DLL) DO REGSVR32 /S %1
FOR %1 IN (*.OCX) DO REGSVR32 /S %1

Close Command Prompt.

Open ArcCatalog. The Versioning Lineage tool should now work.

I want to thank John for the updated post. We are still on version 10.7.1 and the tool still works, but it will definitely save us a lot of time when we move on to version 10.8.1.
