[fdo-users] Arc SDE 9.3

[George McLean]

Hi Robert,

I am not sure how to try the 3.4 build but this is what I have done so far:

I downloaded the fdosdk_3.4.0_win32_release_G032.tar and copied the 
dills and providers.xml file into the FDO\bin folder in my map 2009 
installation. When I do this and start Map 2009,  mapstartwspace fails 
so I do not get the task pane. Should this approach work? I am guessing 
that I do not understand all the steps required to make this work.

I tried connecting to ArcSDE using the version 3.3.2 providers but that 
failed with the error: DBMS table not found (-37).The GIS Administrator 
has been able to create a feature class using ArcCatalog with the same 
account I am using to access the data store so I don't think this is a 
permissions issue.

Any suggestions? Thanks again for the help.

George
