Just installed 10.2.1 on a brand new Win7 64bit machine. In both ArcMap and ArcCatalog, I can't open any geoprocessing tools from the search window.
If I go to the search for tools and search for one, say, clip, I can see the list of tools. I can right-click on it and see "Open". But neither clicking nor choosing "Open" does anything.
If I open the toolbox window and navigate to a tool and right-click and choose "Open", it does open the geoprocessing tool's window.
I repaired my install, but that did not help.
The only other ArcGIS product I have installed on the machine is Diagrammer.
