We recommend using a computer with as much RAM as possible that meets ESRI's minimum specification for ArcGIS Desktop for the version you are using. If installing in a network configuration you will also require a machine to act as the license server. While this machine does not need to be of a particularly high specification it should be configured to have minimum down time in order to ensure maximum license availability.

Team-GIS products require the following components (for more information on these see sections below):

Some Team-GIS products (e.g. in Team-GIS Segment Analyst 'Combine Risk Layers') optionally require a license for:

In addition please note the following:

ArcGIS Desktop has features beyond the typical configuration that must be installed before you can install and use Team-GIS products.  To install all of the components of ArcGIS follow the steps below:

Add or Remove Programs

Modify the ArcGIS Desktop Setup

Select ArcGIS Features

Some Team-GIS products (e.g. Team-GIS Acreage Analyst and Team-GIS Segment Analyst) use functions that require the ArcGIS Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) add-in. However, this VBA add-in may not be part of the default installation, particularly if doing an 'Administrative Install of ArcGIS for Network Distribution' from the ArcGIS Desktop installation menu.  

To find out whether VBA has been enabled in ArcGIS Desktop 9.3 (VBA 6.5) please check your registry to see if you have the following two keys (if you do, it means it is installed):

If VBA has not been installed then there are two setup programs (MSI installation files) provided on the ArcGIS Desktop media which should be run:

The ArcGIS Desktop 'setup.exe' runs these by default, but if you are deploying ArcGIS Desktop by using the MSIs directly, you also need to run the above MSIs.

Some Team-GIS functions (e.g. grid analyses) require an ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension to be installed and operational for some analysis functions to operate.  If this is not the case your Team-GIS product will still run but it will not be able to complete the advanced computations (where required). For this reason we recommend that ArcGIS Spatial Analyst is also installed.

Team-GIS products are designed to run without or with any ArcGIS Desktop service pack level available with ArcGIS - at the time of writing Team-GIS products are certified on ArcGIS 9.2 service pack levels 1 through 6, ArcGIS 9.3 service pack 1, and ArcGIS 9.3.1.

It is recommended that you have the latest service pack installed before you install Team-GIS products.  Service packs for ArcGIS can be downloaded from the ESRI website www.esri.com/support.

Team-GIS products require Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 which can be freely downloaded from the Microsoft .NET 2 website.  We also recommend that you have the latest security patches and service packs for this .NET version.

When installing to Windows Vista or Windows 7 you must first disable Windows User Account Control. For further details on how to do this please see:

Please make sure that all previous versions of Team-GIS products (including Team-GIS License Manager and Team-GIS License Installer) are uninstalled before attempting the installation of any new Team-GIS version.
