I'm receiving the following error when attempting to install ArcHydro,

"arc hydro tools (x64) c:\python27\arcgisx6410.1\lib\site-packages\archydrotools.pth not found"

At this point the installation rolls back and fails.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ian,

ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2 is a 32-bit program, but has a 64-bit geoprocessing "extension" that can be optionally installed.

ArcHydro Tools offers two flavors, the default 32-bit to install as an extension to default 32-bit ArcGIS for Desktop.  And a version to install if the 64-bit geoprocessing "extension" has been installed.

The link noted in your error, c:\python27\arcgisx6410.1\lib\site-packages\archydrotools.pth, would be created only if the 64-bit geoprocessing and the 64-bit Python had been installed.

You'll need to back things out, and download the 32-bit ArcHydro Tools installer and use that. Or you'll need to install the 64-bit geoprocessing extension, and once that is on try the installation again.
