ArcGIS Explorer StandAlone App

[SeanConnolly]

Hello,

I am creating a standalone application in vb.net.

I have added C:\Program Files\Explorer\bin\ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.dll as a reference.

When I run the code:

        Dim fileGDB As Geodatabase = New Geodatabase(GDB_Path)

I get the error: The Product License has not been initialized.

I am wondering if I can use the ArcGIS Explorer SDK without creating an add-in?

I also receive the same error when I connect to the GeoDatabase using an OleDbConnection.

You cannot use ArcGIS Explorer SDK to build stand alone application. This SDK is used to customize ArcGIS Explorer only.
