I'm having some trouble here: I've failed to generate Catchment grid delineation (under Terrain Preprocessing). The error message I get is: 000049 : Failed to build attribute table
I'm recalculated my raster so that it is single band, integer type but still cannot build my attribute table. 

Can someone gimme a hand at this?


Thanks in advance!

I am attempting to load ArcHydro 2.0 on my computer that had ArcHydro1.3 installed.  I followed the instructions to uninstall Arc Hydro Tool 9 as follows:

Uninstalled ArcHydro Tools 9
Uninstalled Water Wtilities Application Framework 9
Cleaned old directories (C:\ProgramFiles\ESRI\WaterUtils|ApFramework9)

I then ran the installer for ArcHydro 2 and got the message:

"Setup has detected a previous version of Arc Hydro Tools installed on the system.
The previous version of Arc Hydro Tools must be uninstalled before continuing with this installation.
Please uninstall Arc Hydro Tools by using the Add/Remove Programs  in the Control Panel".

I then went into the Registry to delete the key: HKEY_LOCAL_NACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\Applications\WaterUtilities\ApFramework9

When I did that the only ESRI key present was:
HKEY_LOCAL_NACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\Desktop10.0

Can anyone help understand/find the file the installer is referring to?

Thanks!

@ronsantini,

Suspect you may have had a DLL still registered when you deleted a folder.

Below are the removal instructions from the current Readme03152011.doc. Note step 5 and use of the ApRegWork utility. This tool is custom built to unregister the Water Resources components.

Task 0.  Remove legacy WR applications

If you have any of the legacy WR applications released before 2/15/05 you will have to uninstall all of them, and reinstall the new suite of applications.  The recommended procedure is the following:
[INDENT]1) Close all Arc applications (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox)
2) In Control Panel in Add/Remove Programs, remove ALL water resources applications including: Arc Hydro Tools, HEC-GeoRAS, HEC-GeoHMS, Water Utilities Application Framework (ApFramework), HEC-GeoDozer, XML Exchange.  Which components are installed depends on the applications you have installed.  If you look in the ESRI installation directory (usually c:\Program Files\ESRI) you will see some of the installed applications.
3) After running the remove application and accepting automated removal, check each of the directories in the application installation directories mentioned in step 2.  If any of the bin directories contain a dll, first unregister the dll and then delete the file.
4) Delete ALL directories that contained the old applications.
5) Recommended �?? run a registry cleaning application to ensure there are no �??hanging�?� components left. You can use the ApRegWork application available on the ftp site as follows:[INDENT]a. Copy the folder ApRegWork from ftp://RiverHydraulics:river.1114@ftp.esri.com and run the setup.
b. Browse to start>all programs>apregwork>apregwork.exe
This will open a registry cleanup window.
c. Keep all defaults and select as Searching Text the application you want to cleanup (ARCHYDRO/ApFramework/HECGEOHMS/HECGEORAS) and click search. This may take 5-10 minutes depending on your computer.
d.  Once the search is done (Searching Test is green again), right-click in the panel showing the registry keys found and select Delete All.[/INDENT][/INDENT]
If you have a newer application (released after 2/15/05) that you are updating, you need to uninstall only that application unless a different procedure is specified with the application instructions.

Stuart,  Thanks. Your instructions worked.  By the way, is there a Tutorial for ArcHydro 2.0, or can I use the 1.3 or 1.4 tutorial?

Stuart,  Looks like I spoke to soon!  ApRegWork worked on my laptop, which is running Windows XP, but it would not delete the files on my desktop running Windows 7 (See Attachment). ApRegWork identifies all the registry files. When I select "Delete All" it does not delete the files.  The log file just shows what files have been found containing the searching text.  I'm not sure where to go from here.  Any suggestions as to why these registry entries are not being deleted on my Windows 7machine?

Thanks!

Ron,

Did you bypass UAC by running the .exe from a command prompt "Run as Administrator", or better have you activated the Administrator account and run the ESRI.APWR.ApRegWork.exe clean-up from that account?

Stuart, I am the administrator, so when I log in, I log in as administrator.  I will try your suggestions.  Thanks!

I was able to run ApRegWork successfully. It removed all items related to ApFramework9 and ArcHydro.  However, we I went to install ArcHydro2, I again got the message that a previous version of Arc Hydro Tools is installed. I have searched throughout directories and can't find an instance of ApFrame9, ArcHydro, ArcHydroGW. 

I still have the ArcHydro Grounwater installer, AHGW, still listed in the Porgrams & Features, but I cannot remove it because it is looking for a file related to ArcGIS 9.3, which was removed when I installed ArcGIS10.

Do you have any other suggestions

Ron,

It is a common admin problem with ArcGIS--failure to uninstall 3rd party extensions prior to the ArcGIS uninstall.

Unfortunately, Aquaveo does not publish a AHGW cleanup utility that I've come across. You might contact their technical support to ask if such a tool is available.

If not, two ways to proceed--first reinstall ArcGIS 9.x & then run the AHGW uninstaller (unpleasant since you've already loaded ArcGIS 10).

Alternative--try an uninstaller, I use CCleaner (www.piriform.com) when full package is intact, but you probably want to start with Revo Uninstaller (www.revouninstaller.com)--the Pro version is necessary for 64-bit use--the freeware version is fully functional for 32-bit systems.

Revo will perform as much of the uninstall as possible--it then finishes with a registry and configuration file cleanup with adjustable agressiveness.  Following a Revo uninstall, I'll usually run through a CCleaner registry check to be sure all is good.  Reboot! Then proceed with another ArcHyrdo 2.x install attempt.
