ArcGIS Explorer Desktop fail to connect to Geodatabase

Hi

When I try to connect to an sde Geodatabase form ArcGIS Explorer desktop,
I get the error: Failed to connect to SERVERNAME

In addition, if I try to load a lyr-file which contains layers connected to a SDE database I get the error: Failed to add Layer Package(s): -O:\Data\Lyr filer\Forbrukssone.lyr (Invalid File)

This happens whether I'm connecting to a database on my own PC or on a server.

I have no connection problems from ArcCatalog using exactly the same parameters for server, service, database etc.

Anyone having a clue on what this can be?

René

Hello,

I was having the same problem. You need to download the Extend ArcGIS Explorer with Expansion Pack, http://resources.arcgis.com/content/arcgis-explorer/1500/download
