Note that the commandline tools described in the section called “Commandline Tools” do not rely on ArcView or the Windows operating system. They are platform independent, however you may have to compile them for your platform. |
To install the DC Water Design Extension, you've got to
run the installer executable. After accepting the
license (s. the section called “DC Water Design Extension”), you'll be
prompted to select the
installation path. The installation path should be the
path to ArcView's EXT32 folder. Usually this should be
the default path (c:\ESRI\av_gis30\arcview\EXT32). It
might differ for custom ArcView installations. The only
thing left to do now is to select which components of
the extension should be installed. In general, you
should install all the components of the extension.

|---|---|
If you want to use e.g. a newer version of the XSLT parser and you've installed that version already, you might decide not to install the XSLT parser that comes with the extension. Don't do this unless you know what you're doing! |
