I've got a little problem where ArcReader 10 crashes when using the "Find" function/tool. Are there any known causes for this? And how can it be corrected?
For anyone else experiencing this problem, here are the instructions for disabling the Find Tool�??s function to check ArcGIS Online. The file you need to edit is located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\ArcReader10.1\Locators\DefaultLocators.xml
-Open the Default locators.xml file. -It can be opened in any editor by using open with (Notepad, Notepad ++) -Comment out the tags with ArcGIS Online Locators by adding <!--... --> at the end. (For example: <!-- ArcGIS 10 Online US Streets geocode service --> <!--locator_ref> <name>Locators/TA_Streets_US_10</name> <display_name>10.0 US Streets Geocode Service (ArcGIS Online)</display_name> <workspace_properties> <factory_progid>esriGISClient.AGSServerConnectionFactory</factory_progid> <ags_connection_properties> <url>http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/services</url> </ags_connection_properties> </workspace_properties> </locator_ref-->) Also here is the web help link for the same: Setting default locators in ArcMap http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//002500000040000000.htm
I actually comment out all external references to locators. The find tool now opens INSTANEOUSLY! Thanks to ESRI Customer support for helping me figure this one out.
