ISO Metadata Editor Patch

There are two files required by the ISO editor that are not distributed as part of the ArcGIS 8.2 Desktop install. If either or both are missing from your computer, you'll get an error message when you open the ISO metadata editor and then click the Edit Contacts button on the Metadata author, Point of contact, or Distributor pages. This patch provides the missing files.

This update is for people who want to create metadata following the ISO metadata standard (ISO document number 19115). It deals specifically with the problems listed below under Bugs Fixed with this Patch.

There are two files that are required by the ISO editor that are not distributed as part of the ArcGIS 8.2 Desktop install. However these files are distributed with Visual Studio 6, Visual Basic 6, Visual C++ 6, Office 2000 SR1, and Office 2000 Developer.

If these files do not exist on your machine, you will see one of the following two errors when you open the ISO metadata editor and then click the Edit Contacts button on the Metadata author, Point of contact, or Distributor pages:

"Component 'MSADODC.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

or

"Component 'MSDATGRD.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid".
