Program launch issue.

Peter_Moore · ‎07-31-2014

Hey guys.

I have downloaded the latest trial version of ArcGIS and installed it onto my PC. When i enter the folder which contains the program data i cannot find a program launcher. I have re-installed several times and still can't resolve the issue. I am running on 64-bit Windows 8.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you, Pete.

Hi Peter,

On 64-bit Win 7, the ArcMap 10.1 application is at: C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\bin\ArcMap.exe

Not sure about Windows 8 but it should be very similar.

Also, you should be able to locate an ArcMap *.mxd document and double click on it to launch ArcMap - try a file search for mxd documents as some are usually installed with the application.
