We found the cause, but not the reason. The cause was we have, via Group Policy, defined our "my Documents" to live on the network - a mapped drive u:\ Users with the default (c:\documents and settings\username\) worked fine, as soon as we made the change to the network this broke (BTW our Local Admin accounts had it set to the local drive, which is why it appeared to work when logged in as an admin) Esri(UK) failed to recreate the problem, so we assumed that something isn't quite right with our GPOs. However, by setting the registry to look for shared AddIns (which was my ultimate goal anyway - just let the users use add-ins from a central location) it all worked. ... View more

Hi Was the cause of this ever resolved?  It sounds similar to my current issue with 10 SP1 - The only way I can see the categories associated with add-ins is running ArcMap as a local admin. Cheers ACM ... View more

PS  Adding the built addin using the "Add from file" button, from the built location of "My Documents\ArcGIS\Addins\<guid> I fet "no gui components found in this add-in" and nothing is added. Adding the same file from a different location I don't get this, but neither do I get the category added to the list, it refreshes the list but doesn't add anything Cheers ACM ... View more

Yep all of that is installed and OK.  I build the addin and then can see it i Add In Manager in ArcMap.  What I cannot see is the category in the commands tab of the customize window I have created the addin in - for example "Developer Samples" However, I have just ran ArcMap as a local admin user and it all works fine. So, there is some restriction on our normal accounts here that is preventing this last bit of registratin working. I have just logged this as a call with ESRI(UK) (I don't think they are yet Esri(UK) ) Cheers Adrian ... View more

Many thanks for that - I have it all nicely integrated in my site now - however, I have been using the "compact" version of the API - mainly as the zoom buttons are nice and clear (the default ones just vanish, and I haven't had time to work out how to customize them) In the past I've been able to work out which bits I needed to include by name when using the compact version, but I can't work it out this time.  Any ideas? Cheers ACM Edit - not so important now - I've reverted to full version and changed the slider - still work in progress as I need to tidy up the code a bit http://maps.eastdevon.gov.uk/mapping/shlaa/ ...

one final question - is the packaged example still around for download - the link on the blog is broken - obviously I can get all the files one at a time.....;) ... View more

FME 2011 came my way today,with a new format ESRIJSON - one output geometry is "rectangle" running the shapefile with my towns though the "bounds extractor" and to an ESRIJSON format with rectangle geometries, more or less got what I want in one hit. I need to test it & stuff but it looks perfect 😄 ... View more

cool, as long as I wasn't missing the big red "make shapefile to JSON" button somewhere. In fact, whilst at home watching an episode of Buffy, I realized how to do it.  I have FME, which creates full fat JSON files, with the full geometry in.  But I realized if I take yours, convert it, say to a dbf, in FME, see the structure, then make a similar one with the areas I want in, FME should then convert that back to a JSON with just what I want - i think:D  Who knows, but I think I can see the light (as it were) Many thanks ACM ...

Ideally it should in in the OOTB package but "Where have all the licenses gone" allows you to return a locked license without restarting the service. (works with all 9.x I beleive) ... View more

If you do this - then please also enable "right click - paste" into the find box - unlike MS Access. ... View more
