Hi All,

For a project I need to write a geodatabase with a time_only field in one of the objects.
To be able to do this I had to change my Python Compatibility to Python 3.9, which only works if Arcgis Pro 3.2 is installed.

Otherwise I get this very helpfull error:

But I don’t want to use 3.2 as default. 

Now I have 2 folders:

C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro2_9
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro3_2

I manually renamed the Pro folder to include the version number.

The issue now is that FME can’t find my Arcgis Pro, which makes me very sad 😥.

 

How can I tell FME to just use C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro2_9 and stop looking for  C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro.

Only when I want, I manually will change the folder to 3_2.

I think it is possible to point to the specific dll you need?

I tried using the python DLL, but still get the translation failed error.

 

 

I’ve tried both 39 and 3

Have you tried reinstalling FME? Maybe it searches for an ArcGIS Pro installation when installing?

💡 Did you know... The FeatureWriter is more intuitive. 😏

what FME version are you using? maybe some conflicts between versions of FME and Pro?

https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407724093837-Notes-on-FME-and-Esri-Versions-and-Compatibility

and I’m confused by our pro-installations too, it thought it was only possible to install 1 version on 1 machine?

Using FME 2023.2.3 
This should work with both versions of arcgis, but I can not set the location of my arcgis pro installation in the FME settings.


Both versions of Arcgis 2.9 and 3.2 are installed and work perfectly, but FME doesnt work when the folders are called:
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro2_9
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro3_2
