ArcGIS Explorer will not display Raster with Worldfile?

[DonCopple]

ArcGIS Explorer is not recognizing the world file for displaying raster images for GeoJPG, or GeoTIFF.  I can download these raster datasets and view in ArcMap, but want to be able to open in ArcGIS Explorer.  Anyone know how to fix that?

Great!  Will the next build also be without the compatibility problems with Arc Desktop that 1200 did?

We do not expect the 1500 release to have any issues with ArcGIS Desktop. Unfortunately a few users have reported problems with 1200 and ArcGIS Desktop despite extensive testing of the products in a variety of combinations in multiple environments prior to release.

I can confirm that this SID image (2045.sdw), with the SDW world file (2045.sdw), works fine in the next release of ArcGIS Explorer without any need for modifying the data in ArcGIS Desktop.

I too am unable to get a sid file in explorer.  I just downloaded the latest build and it still doesn't work.

Any clues?

I figured it out by saving it as a layer file.
