Python 2.7 not found on the system #123

Open azstumbler opened 8 years ago

Every time I tried to install arcgis-osm-editor I get the error message that Python 2.7 is not installed on the system. However since I have ArcGIS Desktop 10.4 installed it is obvious that I have Python 2.7 installed also and I can see it on the drive and there is an entry in the windows environment pointing to it. So what is the issue?

The install process verifies that Python is installed on the system. It does this by looking for one of the following registry settings default value.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7\InstallPath HKLM\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7\InstallPath

When Python 2.7 is installed it sets these settings in the registry depending if it's x86 or x64.

Verify these registry settings exist and there is a path for the (default) value. If the registry values do not exist you need to reinstall Python 2.7. (Make sure to install it for all users)

Problem is that Python 2.7 version 11 was installed prior to ArcGis 10.4 and to get ArcGIS to run I had to modify the registry information per instructions from ESRI. Now reinstalling Python 2.7 v11 may fix the problem of the editor not installing but then I will have issues with ArcGIS starting and if I downgrade to python 2.7 v10 then other programs will not work.
