Hi Candice,

Thanks for your interest in MGET. We hope it proves useful to you!

Fortunately, this problem has an easy solution. For MGET, you need the pywin32 package called pywin32-217.win32-py2.6.exe, not the one called pywin32-217.win-amd64-py2.6.exe. I highlighted the differences in red. Try the win32 one; it should find your ArcGIS Python installation and be sufficient to allow MGET to proceed.

MGET requires the win32 one (Windows 32-bit) because that is what ArcGIS 10.0 and earlier all use. There is no 64-bit version of ArcGIS at this time. I have heard from the ESRI geoprocessing team, however, that ArcGIS 10.1 will be released for both 32-bit and 64-bit, including the geoprocessing capability. If that proves true, we anticipate releasing a 64-bit version of MGET at that time.

Best,

Jason

Hi Folks,

I've just discovered the MGET toolbox and it looks fantastic, thank you! However I'm having installation issues and figured you might have come across this particular issue already.

I have ArcGIS Desktop 10 Service Pack 4, and the Python 2.6 that is automatically installed with it. Hence I'm following the 0.8 Installation Instructions, as per http://code.nicholas.duke.edu/projects/mget/export/HEAD/MGET/Trunk/PythonPackage/dist/TracOnlineDocumentation/Documentation/GettingStarted.html#Installation

I downloaded the appropriate pywin32 Python package, pywin32-217.win-amd64-py2.6.exe, but the package can't find Python in the registry (because it's not, it's under ArcGIS). MGET-0.8a40.win32-py2.6.exe can see Python in the registry, but won't run without the pywin32 package. I'm reluctant to either reinstall or move Python, as ArcGIS installed it. Any suggestions? I'd love to see what this toolbox can do!

Best wishes,

Candice
