Issues installing r-bridge with R 3.6.1 and arcMap 10.6.1 #86

Closed AbernethyR closed 4 years ago

AbernethyR commented 4 years ago

HI, I have been working on this for quite a while with no luck (and am no slightly worried i have mucked it up beyond repair).

I initially installed the bridge and arcgisbinding without RTools, so deleted, installed tools and reinstalled.

In arcCat I at first had luck installing the bridge, but now get this error message

I also have arcPro installed on this machine, but am not using it just yet. My intent is to use the bridge to access sde database files...

@AbernethyR Thanks for the report. The error you get in your first message is unexpected, since arcpy.GetInstallInfo() is a basic functionality that ArcPy provides -- my guess is, something is interfering with the Python installation (perhaps from another software product), but if you have Pro co-installed on the machine, there is a simpler way to get the bridge for both environments. You can follow the instructions in this video to install the bridge into R for both Pro and ArcMap, and that'll be easier than trying to do it using this toolbox.

Cheers, Shaun
