I am having trouble downloading the data for the book exercises from the book resource page (esri.com/GTKAD-5) and I was wondering if there was any other place I could get these resources.

Hi,

Here a link to a zipfile of the exercise data.

  1. Download the data.
  2. Create a folder on your C drive named EsriPress.
  3. Unzip the data and place it inside the folder.

Hi Eliza,

Sorry you are having trouble.

If you go here: https://esripress.esri.com/bookResources/index.cfm?event=catalog.book&id=46

you can right-click and save as to download the book's resources.

Let me know if you still run into any issues.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for responding! I'm still having trouble. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it only allows me to save

it as a link, and the last time I tried downloading it from the resource page it downloaded the datasetup as an

the application so I couldn't access any of the data in ArcMap.

Hi Eliza,

It sounds like you are just about there. Here are the steps.

Starting from the book resources page:

 https://esripress.esri.com/bookResources/index.cfm?event=catalog.book&id=46

When the file is done downloading, locate it (by default it is probably saved to your Downloads folder).

Then click through the installation process. Let me know how it goes!

Ok thanks! I just can't figure out where to find the exercise maps in ArcMap once the datasetup is installed. When I try to insert data I can't find anything for the exercises in the file explorer.

The default location for the data to be installed is C:\EsriPress\GTKArcGIS

I need to update my link for the Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop 5th edition data download. The above link does not give me access to the data.  I need it for my Intro GIS students who are using the 5th edition book.

I tried to follow the same instruction steps in this thread but still could not download the exercise file for 'Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop 5th edition' book. I was able to see the 'Save As' Windows prompt but get an error message saying 'datasetup.exe can't be downloaded' once I clicked the Save button.

 I am wondering this download file link is expired. Can anyone advise if you are able to download it or any suggestions?

Thank you so much!

Hi,

I think your browser is probably wanting you to confirm that you want to download the executable file. 

If you are using Chrome, try this:

Once you follow the steps above, look at the bottom left of your browser, it may look like this:

Click the arrow in your download toolbar and then click "Keep" to confirm the download.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks,

Craig
