Cause

Solution or Workaround

Modification of the Windows registry is required.

Warning:
The instructions below include making changes to essential parts of your operating system. It is recommended that you backup your operating system and files, including the registry, before proceeding. Consult with a qualified computer systems professional, if necessary.

ESRI cannot guarantee results from incorrect modifications while following these instructions; therefore, use caution and proceed at your own risk.


To modify the Windows registry:

  1. Download the .zip file that is applicable to your operating system.
    · fixreg32.zip contains the .reg file for 32-bit operating systems
    · fixreg64.zip contains the .reg file for 64-bit operating systems

  2. Unzip the file to the local machine where ArcGIS is currently installed.
  3. On the local machine, double-click the appropriate .reg file. This action applies the changes to the registry.
