The ArcGIS Explorer Team is pleased to announce that ArcGIS Explorer Current User is now available from the ArcGIS Explorer Resource Center on the ArcGIS Explorer 1500 download page.

ArcGIS Explorer Current User is a way for people who are not administrators on their system to use ArcGIS Explorer. It does not require administrator privileges to install, so anyone can download and install ArcGIS Explorer Current User for themselves.

Please note that ArcGIS Explorer Current User is not intended for users that have also installed other ArcGIS products - those users should install the standard ArcGIS Explorer setup (which does require administrative privileges).

See the ArcGIS Explorer Current User installation guide for more information.

In addition to ArcGIS Explorer Current User, there are two expansion packs created specifically for use with ArcGIS Explorer Current User that are available. Use the Data Access Expansion Pack for ArcGIS Explorer Current User to expand geodatabase functionality. With this expansion pack, users are able to make direct connections to multi-user geodatabases from ArcGIS Explorer Current User.

The Projection Engine Expansion Pack for ArcGIS Explorer Current User is also available. Use this expansion pack to add more projection and geotransformation options for use within ArcGIS Explorer Current User.
