Please follow steps so the files will be loaded correctly:

 

Check your Version of Internet Explorer:

ArcReader requires that you have version 6 or better of Internet Explorer.

 

1.  First you must download ArcReader.  You will be downloading this from the ESRI website and the install will tell you if you need to upgrade any programs or hardware so please be on the look out for this.

2.  Next you will need to make sure you have a copy of Winzip on your computer.  If you don't please click here WinZIP

3.  Next you will need to create a directory on your C: drive named "Newhcad".  You can do this using windows explorer.  After you open windows explorer you click one time on the C: drive and then you click on file and new and then on folder.  This is where you name your folder "Newhcad".

4.  Finally you will need to download and unzip the ArcGIS file into the file you just created.  If you do not do this the maps will not work properly.  For example when WinZIP asks you which directory you want to unzip the file into you should navigate to your C: drive and then Newhcad.  It should look something like this: C:\Newhcad

5.  You can now open the ArcReader program and find your way to the "Newhcad" directory and open the file named:  Hcadall and you will be able to work with the map.
