Hi Bryan,
The reason you are facing this issue if because there is an incompatibility between the gdal version that is installed with Oriented Imagery and ArcGIS Pro 2.8.1. When Pro 2.8.1 was released the gdal dlls were updated.
To fix your issue you can revert to Pro 2.9 or you can get the latest dlls from github.
If you choose to go to github this is what you need to do.
- open this link in a browser. https://github.com/Esri/OptimizeRasters/blob/master/Setup/OptimizeRastersToolsSetup.exe
- Click on Download.
- Double click the installer. (if windows blocks installation then click on More info and then click run anyway)
- Let the installer install in the default location. (when complete close the installer)
- Open File explorer and browse to c:\Image_Mgmt_Workflows\OptimizeRasters\GDAL
- Copy the bin folder
- Browse to c:\Image_Mgmt_Workflows\OrientedImagery\Dependents\OptimizeRasters\GDAL
- Paste the bin folder here. It should overwrite all the files in the bin folder.
- Restart pro (if open)
- Try the tool now.
Please note : Do these steps only if you are sticking to Pro 2.8.1. If you decide to revert to Pro 2.8 do not do these steps.
We are working on a fix for the next release for Oriented Imagery that will solve this issue.
Thanks,
Randall
