MOLE 9.1 Installation conflict with ArcWeb Toolbar

Description

If the ArcWeb Services toolbar is installed before MOLE, the following error may occur when trying to install MOLE: "Military Overlay Editor requires 9.1 or higher version of ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine Runtime, ArcReader, ArcIMS ArcMap Server or ArcGIS Server to continue."

Cause

This happens when the ArcWeb services toolbar version 1.1 is installed prior to installing MOLE 9.1. The installation of the ArcWeb toolbar is replacing the ArcGIS 9.1 coreRuntime hives with 9.0 characters. When MOLE runs, it expects ArcGIS 9.0 is installed.
