I am equally frustrated, but not with either issue that Tim and Ted were
bringing up. For me, the true frustration is its inability to cross
walk between former versions. Primarily I'm referring to the fact that
we have ArcSDE 8.3 and I can not access it with version 9.0! I realize
that I could just install the ArcSDE 9.0, but so much of our
organizations time rides on our SDE GB's, that it's not worth to us to
take the risk of X.0 bugs...Anyway, I like what ESRI is attempting to do
(quite a bit), but it's obvious from working with it thus far, that it
still needs significant revamping before any of us waste more of our
time with 9.0. =20
Currently reinstalling 8.3...

We have not had that problem. The installation was a breeze once we got
the license manager working again. However, I hate the new
geoprocessing in 9. It is much more cumbersome than 8.3 and takes more
time. I agree with you completely about the upgrade procedure. You
would think they could make it so you don't have to keep getting new
license files or make their "automated' process faster than a day.

Subject: [gislist] ArcGIS 9 - recommend postponing installation
Dear Listers,
Have had ArcGIS 9 (ArcInfo) installed for less than a week. After a
rather circuitous path to getting it actually installed, and a quick
call the ESRI tech support, I would have to say at this point that I
would strongly recommend postponing installation or upgrading until ESRI
cleans things up and re-issues the CDs. They have pulled a "Microsoft"
on this one: the tech at ESRI confirmed a known issue with installation
on a single license dongle [the license administrate does not record
the machine name and so a secondary step of actually typing it in is
required]. But, after having tried to work with a dataset that worked
just fine under 8.x, it has crashed multiple times so far with 9.x with
a fairly major application error. I really am tired of paying a king's
ransom for the privilege of advanced beta-testing. I will be
uninstalling 9.x, and reinstalling 8.x to keep working. You would also
think ESRI could come up with a method that would truly "upgrade"
previous installations without having to completely uninstall the older
version first [in the interest of saving a significant amount of
time...].
...not a happy camper..
Anthony
