Installation of Arc-SDM
Unzipping files
Files provided on the web site have been compressed into zip files. A directory structure has been written to the zip file for the documentation files and the sample data sets that needs to be reconstructed by your unzip utility. If you are using WinZip, ensure that you have selected the option to 'Use folder names'. It's can also be useful to NOT have the 'Overwite existing files' selected because a prompt asking you if you want to overwrite an existing file will usually signal a problem with the reconstruction of the directory structure.
Installation of program files
Apart from unzipping the files, installation is the same from CD-ROM or the Arc-SDM web site.
Copy all of the following files
into the ArcView extension directory. For the default
installation of ArcView, the path is c:\Esri\Av_gis30\ArcView\Ext32.
