You can't run set-up because the installer is a 16 bit installer and XP64 won't run that. So you install ArcView 3.x on a non-XP64 computer. Copy the c:\ESRI\Av_GIS30 directory and the C:\Program Files\Common Files\ESRI\ directory and put them in the same place on the XP64 machine. (Instead of C:\Program Files\Common Files\ESRI on the 64 machine, copy it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ESRI.)

Then you run regedit on the XP64 computer and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE and create a new ESRI key if one doesn't exist (left click on .../Software and then right click and select new Key). If it exists, don't create it. Under that "Key" create two new Keys - one titled ArcView GIS Version 3.0 and the other titled ArcView Projection Utility. Under both of those, create a new Key titled "CurrentVersion" ...

On your non-XP64 machine, go to regedit and then to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / ESRI / ARCVIEW 3.0 / Current Version and copy all of the items listed there into the same Key on the XP64 machine. (left click on the new key on the XP64 compuerand then right click on the work window and select "new" "string" type in the name e.g. Folder ... and then right click that and select Modify and enter the string found on the non-64 machine for that item)

Do the same for the CurrentVersion for the ArcView Projection Utility.

And then go to c:\esri\AV_GIS30\ArcView\BIN32\ and click onArcView.exe and it will run.

I now have ArcGIS License Manager (from ArcGIS 9.2) working properly as a service under Windows Vista (this worked with both 32 and 64 bit versions of Vista).

Note: for Vista 64 bit read "program files (x86)" where it says "program files" below.

1. Install the version of License Manager that came with ArcGIS 9.2. (See step to install LM ArcGIS 9.2)

2. After Install dont restart your Computer.

3. Rename the files lmgrd.exe, lmutils.exe and lmtools.exe located in c:\program files\esri\license\arcgis9x to something else (e.g., add a .bak extension). Download latest FLEXlm files (e.g., Microsoft Windows 32-bit x86 for vista 32-bit, or Microsoft Windows 64-bit x64 for vista 64-bit) from http://www.globes.com/support/fnp_utilities_download.htm . Rename the downloaded files lmgrd.exe, lmutils.exe and lmtools.exe and place them in c:\program files\esri\license\arcgis9x.

4. Create a blank textfile with a .log extension (e.g., flexlm.log) and move it to c:\program files\esri\license\arcgis9x\ (make sure it is there and not in the VirtualStore that Vista creates for this folder). Right-click on lmtools.exe and run as administrator. In the Config Services tab, write the name of the Service (e.g., ArcGIS License Manager), select the location of lmgrd.exe (c:\program files\esri\license\arcgis9x\lmgrd.exe), the location of the license file (e.g., c:\program files\esri\license\arcgis9x\license.lic), and the location of the log file you created earlier (c:\program files\esri\license\arcgis9x\flexlm.log). FLEXlm seems to care about all of these being specified. Do not point to the pre-existing log file in that directory (arcgis_lm.log), point to the blank one you created. Tick Use Services and then Start Server at Power Up, then Save Service.

5. Reboot.

It worked for me, hopefully it will work for other people as well.

MapObjects— software is a powerful collection of embeddable mapping and GIS components. Developers can use MapObjects to create applications that include dynamic live maps and GIS capabilities. Developers can also build custom applications using ESRI's latest platform, ArcGIS Engine. ArcGIS Engine is based on ArcObjects, the core set of components from which ArcGIS products are built, and is compatible with multiple application programming interfaces. ArcGIS Engine applications can vary from simple map viewers to custom GIS editing programs.

With MapObjects you can

• Add mapping components to enhance existing applications.
• Build lightweight data viewing applications.
• Create customized mapping and GIS programs that fulfill specific tasks and requirements.
• Develop simple query-based applications that easily enable access to data generated by sophisticated GIS solutions.

You can download sample for MapObject in Visual Basic Here.
