Hello

We are currently testing ArcGIS Explorer Desktop Beta Build 2035 and just want to let you know that geosearch capability isn't working. We have no problem using a new service, http://geocode.arcgis.com and geosearch in ArcGIS Desktop 10 but it does not seem to be working in the current version of ArcGIS Explorer Desktop Beta.  Are you planning to fix it by next upcoming release?

Thanks,

Sach

The ArcGIS Explorer 2012 final release will work with the http://geocode.arcgis.com service.

Starting ArcGIS Explorer beta 2012 2.0.0.1995,  Windows 7 (SP1) flashes black and alerts with "The color scheme has been changed to Windows Basic ..... Windows will automatically change the theme back to Aero"
Why?

I have had quite a few people tell me that they run ArcGIS Explorer with aero using the setting:
<E3Settings DisableAeroDWM="false" 
mentioned in the forum post, and it doesn't cause them problems.  We are not going to change the default behavior though, for 2012, as there are quite a few ArcGIS Explorer users on older hardware (graphics cards / drivers) where it is problematic.

Add from ArcGIS online is replaced by the search window.

Thank you very much for your reply. I can now see my maps through the search button as you have mentioned

Hello:

Is there an estimate for a release date (week,  month, season...) for ArcGIS Explorer Desktop 2012 final?

Will there be another beta release? I cannot find any way to get "About..." info in the UI, to get the build number. I'm probably missing it. The executable I have says 2.0.0.1995. Is there a more recent beta?

And, for a follow up, is there any official or semi-official statement about this product's future development, in light of the upcoming (at some point) release of the ArcGIS "Viewer" for Windows?

Thanks,

Harry

I tried to open the attribute table on one of my file gdb feature classes. It has 7 million records and a bunch of fields (mostly Y, N). ArcGIS Explorer became unresponsive and I noticed that memory usage hit 3 GB and then the application crashed.

Was the software trying to load in all the features?

I have an inquiry regarding the add GIS service on ArcGIS Explorer. How do I connect my citrix server database to be utilized in ArcGIS Explorer? I have tried using this URL (http://citrix/Citrix/XenApp/site/default.aspx?NFuse_CurrentFolder=%5cDesktop%20GIS), but it fails to connect. I pray to the GIS gods that I can eventually link the server to this awesome piece of software.

Harry, thanks for bringing up this issue. We will fix it in the upcoming release.

We are in a shared server environment.  Can we install one copy of 2012 on the server and then have multiple users access through their desktop?

When do you expect public release?
