Known Limitations

• On some versions of the Windows NT operating system, ArcCatalog has the following limitation: If any TXT file exists somewhere along the path of a data file, including the folder where the data file is located, when you use the Add Data button to add a data layer the ArcMap.exe process appears to be running in Windows Task Manager after you dismiss ArcMap.
  
  To avoid this, delete all TXT files along the path for your data files.
• Plan workspaces (personal geodatabase MDB files) created in current releases of ArcGIS cannot be used with previous versions of ArcGIS.

Troubleshooting

Install/Uninstall

When you try to install Districting for ArcGIS, you might get a message saying "Another version of Districting for ArcGIS is already installed.

Please use Add/Remove programs to remove the presently installed version before installing this one." But when you try to uninstall the old version in Add/Remove in Control Panel, it says it's already uninstalled. In this case, run RegEdit and remove the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AV_REDIST_EXT so you can install the new version.
