Installing MapSpeller™ 4.0.4072 on ArcMap 10.0

Recapitulating. My Situation:

I want to install MapSpeller on a PC:

• That doesn't contain a previous build of MapSpeller, and

• Has ArcGIS 10.0 installed and in working order, and

The Solution

1. Print this procedure.
    

2. Save MapSpeller 4.0.4072 installation package (14 Mb) to a location that is accessible to all PCs and all people who will be running MapSpeller
    

3. Using an account that has Windows administrative rights and from the computer(s) that will be running MapSpeller:

   	Make sure ArcMap is closed.
   	Double-click on the setup.exe file from within the unzipped package. The setup.exe, msi and esriaddin files are digitally signed by Edgetech America, Inc. At the end of installation wizard, make sure to keep the "Launch the program" box checked. This will install the add-in itself.
   	Start ArcMap with elevated rights (important; see illustration on left). To do this, Right-click on the ArcMap item in the Start Menu and selecting Run as administrator ... Unless you are using Windows XP. In which case, start ArcMap your usual way.
   	If the MapSpeller toolbar is not visible, it may be because your ArcMap Add-In Manager is set to only accept add-ins from Esri. If so,   Open the the Add-In Manager and select its Options tab (Customize > Add-In Manager > Options tab) Set it to accept digitally signed add-ins, such as MapSpeller Close the Add-In Manager Reopen it, the MapSpeller add-in should be listed under the Add-Ins tab.
   	Request keycodes from the Licensing tab of the MapSpeller Options dialog.
   	Close ArcMap. Don't skip this step. If you want to continue working with ArcMap, open it back your regular way.

4. If payment is due, contact Edgetech. The 90-day trial is free.

5. You will receive an email containing the keycodes from Edgetech within a couple of days.

Also Consider:

If someone else will also be using MapSpeller, that person will need to login under his/her own Windows username, and:

1. Double-click on the esriaddin file within the zip file I downloaded (follow \program files\Edgetech America\MapSpeller within the zip file)

2. Register as a user from the MapSpeller Options dialog. No administrative rights are needed for user registrations.

Thank you for using MapSpeller for ArcGIS.
