I'm having trouble downloading the ugis4setup.exe file for the above-mentioned book. Windows is apparently blocking the download. I reported to Windows that the file source and app is safe, but it still will not download. I have a one-year student license, so do not need the 180 day license that comes with the book. Please help me download the ugis4setup.exe file.
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you already have a license, then you won't need to utilize the license that comes with the book.
To download the data right-click the link and select Save link as, shown in the first graphic above.
Let me know how it goes,

Hi John,
I can help you with that.
Using Chrome you can follow these steps.
Starting from the resources page at https://esripress.esri.com/bookResources/index.cfm?event=catalog.book&id=59
From there, click through the standard installation process. Accept the license agreement and the standard installation location and you should be good to go.
Let me know if you encounter any issues, I'm here to help!

I'm following your instructions carefully. when I get to saving the .exe file, Windows is apparently saying I cannot download the file safely. See image:
Looks like you are almost there!
Just to the right of the word "Discard" click on the down-arrow and select "Keep". Check the second image above for reference.
Once the download is finished, follow the step in the third image for opening instructions.
Sure thing.
Let me know if anything else comes up.

Hi there!
I'm having trouble finding a resource page for the Getting to Know ArcGIS 4th edition textbook and its' exercises. I realize it's an outdated version but purchased what was reccomended by the UC Davis fundamentals course. Is there a way to still locate those? Thank you for your help.
I'm taking the UC Davis course on ArcGIS fundamentals and I discovered after purchasing materials that ArcGIS is getting rid of Arc
Hi Kelly,
Esri's desktop software products include both ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap is no longer being updated and has been replaced by ArcGIS Pro.
If your book cover looks like this:
then that book was written for an old version of ArcMap, hopefully you can return or exchange the book. The latest edition, (sixth edition) uses a fairly similar exercise dataset which may work if you do keep that book, exercise data can be found here. You can either download the exercise data file that is available as a ZIP file, "Getting to Know ArcGIS 10.8 Exercise Data - ZIP file" in which case you should download, unzip and locate it on your C: drive, or you can download the file, "Getting to Know ArcGIS 10.8 Exercise Data" and allow it to install on your computer.
Since it sounds like you are just starting out with GIS (welcome!) I would strongly recommend learning the current version of the software, ArcGIS Pro. It is much easier to learn, operates faster and has a modern interface!
We have a new book for ArcGIS Pro that is publishing tomorrow (8/31/21) that you may find useful, GIS Tutorial for ArcGIS Pro 2.8. We also offer dozens of free, self-paced GIS lessons at learn.arcgis.com.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with,
