Installing Conefor Inputs tool in ArcGIS 10.x:
------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT: Installing and registering the Conefor Inputs tool in ArcGIS requires multiple steps:

1. First close ArcGIS if it is open.  The tools do not install properly if ArcGIS is running during the installation.

2. Install the tool on your hard drive by running the file Conefor_inputs_10.EXE, which will be located in the Extensions GIS\ArcGIS 9.x folder (within the folder where you installed CS22, typically C:\Program files\Conefor Sensinode 22, or some other similar path), and follow the instructions. This installation file is also available at http://www.jennessent.com/conefor_inputs.htm. This installation routine will install the DLL and several ancillary files on your hard drive, but will not register the tool with ArcGIS.

3. Use Windows Explorer to open your installation folder.  If you used the default installation values, then this folder will be located at Program Files\Conefor Inputs\.  This folder will also include some additional files and the manual.

4. For Windows XP: Inside the installation folder, find and double-click the file Conefor_Inputs_ArcGIS_10_Installer.bat to register all the tools with ArcGIS 10.0.  
   For Windows 7/Vista: Inside the installation folder, find and right-click the file Conefor_Inputs_ArcGIS_10_Installer.bat, then click "Run as Administrator" to register all the tools with ArcGIS 10.0.  
   If the registration is successful, then you should see a Registration Succeeded notice.

5. Alternative Method if you do not get the Registration Succeeded message:  If the method above does not work, the reason is probably due to the %CommonProgramFiles environmental variable pointing to the wrong location, and/or Windows Vista or Windows 7 Security settings.  The fix is to use a batch file that includes the full pathnames to ESRIRegAsm.exe and to the extension DLL and REG files.  You may edit the BAT file yourself, or you may use the tool Make_Batch_Files.exe (located in your installation folder) to create new registration and unregistration batch files that are properly formatted to your system.  

   If using Windows XP:  Simply double-click on the file Make_Batch_Files.exe to create the new batch files.

   If using Windows Vista or Windows 7:  Right-click on the file Make_Batch_Files.exe and click Run as Administrator to create the new batch files.

   Then repeat Step 4 above to register the tools in ArcGIS 10, but this time use the new BAT file "Register_Conefor_ID.bat".
