CSV Client for ArcGIS 10 (Windows7) failed

MartinOuellet1 — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 13:05:38 GMT

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?

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.

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!

"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.
