Jennifer,
We're sorry you're seeing this error. This is an odd one because there is no
detailed error message. MGET is pretty heavily instrumented with error
checking, and when you don't see anything, it usually means there is either
an installation problem or there is a bug with MGET. Here are some things to
check:
1. Verify that the pywin32 package is installed (a.k.a. Python for Windows
Extensions). Check Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs (called Programs
and Features on Vista). Scroll down and look for a program called "Python
2.5 pywin32-XYZ" where XYZ is some number like 212. If you do not see such a
program, install it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ (be sure
to click View All Files on the web page and select the version for Python
2.5). Also check XYZ, which is called the build number. Make sure it is 210,
211, or 212. If it is a later build, such as 213 or 214, I recommend you
uninstall it and install build 212. MGET is affected by a compatibility
problem of pywin32 213 and later with ArcGIS 9.3.x, as described in
http://code.env.duke.edu/projects/mget/ticket/386.
2. If you have ArcGIS 9.3 (not 9.3.1), then make sure you have installed 9.3
Service Pack 1. There was a bug in the original release of 9.3 that affected
MGET and many other Python-based tools. See
http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&f=1729&t=266401 for details. You can
download Service Pack 1 from http://support.esri.com.
3. If you are trying to run the tool from a geoprocessing model you created
when you had ArcGIS 9.2, try creating a fresh model with your new version of
ArcGIS. Sometimes there are strange compatibility problems with models built
with 9.2 when you try to run them on 9.3.
4. If none of those help, then please try to run the tool from the Windows
Command Prompt (a.k.a. DOS) and send me the output. You will hopefully see
more error messages there. These can help me diagnose the issue. Here are
the steps:
a. Click Start --> Run, type CMD and click OK. (On Vista, just type CMD
after clicking Start and press Enter).
b. Copy the following text, right click in the CMD window, and paste it in.
Be sure to copy it all as a single line. If your email program breaks it
into multiple lines, please paste first into Notepad, edit it to be one
line, and then copy/paste into the CMD window.
cmd.exe /C C:\PROGRA~1\GeoEco\ARCGIS~1\Scripts\AVISOD~3.PY "Global DT-MSLA
Upd Merged" "7/18/2009" "10/15/2009" "C:\Documents and Settings\Jennifer\My
Documents\USM\Remote sense\SSH\09_717to1031" "ssh%Y%j" "false" "#" "#" "#"
"#" "#" "#" "#" "false" "false" "C:\Documents and Settings\Jennifer\My
Documents\USM\Remote sense\SSH\09_717to1031"
c. Copy the output out of the CMD window into an email message to me.
I was able to successfully run this tool on my own 9.3.1 machine with the
latest version of MGET. But I noted that your range of dates, 7/18/2009 to
10/15/2009, are too recent for the Aviso DT-MSLA product. The latest DT-MSLA
data is 2/18/2009. The tool should succeed but report a warning message
indicating that no images were available for the dates you provided.
Aviso usually takes a while to update the DT data. If you need data that is
very close to the present, try the NRT data.
Best regards,
Jason

Subject: [mget-help] Help with SSH tool
Hello,
I have recently updated from ArcMap 9.2 to 9.3 & thus had to install the
latest
edition of The MGET. However, I am now having problems with the download sea
surface height tool (which worked beautifully in the older edition). I
cannot
seem to figure out what the problem is.
I even uninstalled and reinstalled ArcMap, python and the MGET tools to try
and
troubleshoot but continue to get the same error message. Please help!
The error code is as follows:
