ArcGIS 9.3 installation

ArcGIS Desktop 9.3

  6. Browse for a License Manager
  7. Type "alice.unil.ch" (without the ")
  8. Select "ArcInfo"
  9. Select any of the installation types, depending on your needs. "Typical" does not install any extension. If you want to use some extension, use "Custom".
  10. I advise you to NOT install ArcGIS in "Program Files" but in a directory whose path contains no space. E.g. C:\Progs\ArcGIS
  11. Same advice for Python. E.g. C:\Progs\Python
