ArcGISExplorerDataAccessDownload: Installation ended prematurely

[RobertHeitzman]

1500 ArcGISExplorerDataAccessDownload (happened on previous version too) on Vista 32 Business

I installed 1500 and it is running fine. I tried to install the Data Access module so I can access some local server resources. After the first setup screen I get an error: Installation ended prematurely because of an error. No clue as to what the error is but setup just exits.

The PC is used for development and may have some old ESRI stuff lying (SDK's etc.) about - I've deleted all I've found in Programs and Features. ArcGIS 10 is installed but the install of the 1200 DataAccess failed before ArcGIS 10 was installed.

Any idea on how to isolate what is causing Setup to die?

Hey,

With bits and pieces of old stuff lying around on your system it's possible there's a conflict - but these are usually very hard to identify. If you've uninstalled all the unneeded old ESRI SDK/programs then I suggest running some house keeping apps - such as Windows Disk Cleanup, Regclean and/or CCleaner - perhaps there are some old Registry entries which are preventing successful install of the data expansion pack. Essentially what it's doing is laying down a few extra DLLs which are required for enterprise Geodatabase access.
