Issue trying to run AML

Question

I have followed the instructions on the website for how to run an AML file. I have installed Workstation and changed the registry. However when I try to run it, it comes up with the window to choose the program to run the AML. Is there a reason for this? Has anyone else ran into this situation?

No, ArcInfo Workstation is a separate program (and installation). A license for ArcInfo Workstation is included in an ArcGIS Advanced license though.

I have the same issue when trying to run an AML script in ArcGIS Desktop Advanced version 10.1. ESRI's help document suggests creating a toolbox and setting up the AML as a script to run in that toolbox.

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//001500000010000000

I see the same issue - upon running the script, a Windows popup asks me to choose the program to run the AML (default it notebook).

What you mean you installed Workstation? I thought ArcInfo Workstation is now baked into ArcGIS Desktop Advanced.

Thanks but I should have clarified better. It is a Windows window asking for an installed program to run AML.
