Hello,

 

First of all, thank you very much for your hard work regarding the Marine Geospatial Ecology Toolset.  These tools have made my life easier and more productive, I cannot thank you enough.  In addition, I teach a Marine GIS course at Boston Unviversity, where we use these tools extensively.

 

I have recently upgraded to ArcGIS 10, unfortunately, I am unable to run the Convert SDS in HDF to Raster tool.  I have had success running this tool in the past in ArcGIS 9x versions.  I am able to extract the headers from the hdf file, this is usually my check to make sure the toolset was installed correctly.  However, I am not able to run HDF to Raster tool.  The error is below.

 

Any guidance would be most appreciative.

 

Thanks again for such an amazing toolset.

 

Cheers,

 

Kerry
