Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
If you are concerned you may not have the most recent version, please visit http://www.
spatialecology.com/htools to download it (free, no registration).
The latest version of the tools are for ArcGIS 9.x. An old, archived version can be
downloaded for ArcGIS 8.x, but it is outdated and not maintained. Note that these tools
are updated frequently.
To install this software you must have Admin rights on the computer and ArcGIS must
already be installed. Download the .zip file from the website and unzip it. All of the
installation files must be in the same folder as the .exe installation program for it to
function correctly. They are:
htools_setup.exe
HawthsTools3.dll
HawthsTools3.reg
uninstall_HawthsTools3.reg
htools_readme.htm (this file)
To begin the installation run "htools_setup.exe" by double-clicking on it in Windows
Explorer, and follow the instructions provided. It is recommended that you allow the
setup program to install Hawth's Tools in the default location.
You will receive a notification if the installation was successful. To use Hawth's Tools after
the installation, open ArcMap and switch the HawthsTools toolbar on by going to ArcMap
-- View -- Toolbars, or right-click on empty toolbar space at the top of ArcMap.
If you receive an error message during installation, or do not see Hawth's Tools in the list
of extensions, please refer to the FAQ's below.
Frequently Asked Questions
The installation program failed (an error occurred). What went wrong?
You must have Administrative privileges to install and uninstall this software (open
Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management and look in the User Accounts

you are trying to install the software to (try copying another file there using Windows
Explorer to test this). Is there enough free space on your disk to copy these files?

Hawth
You must also have ArcGIS installed before installing this extension.
If the installation program runs without generating an error but you cannot see the
HawthsTools toolbar, then you may need to do this fix just once: open ArcMap, go to
Tools -- Customize -- Add From File... and navigate to the HawthsTools3.dll in the
installation folder (not the folder you unzipped the files into). Press OK. Having done this
once, you should not have to do it again.
If the installation program fails or you do not have Admin rights , there is another method
you can use of activating the extension, but you may have to do this each time you start
a new ArcMap session. Open ArcMap, go to Tools -- Customize -- Add From File... and
navigate to the HawthsTools3.dll in the installation folder (not the folder you unzipped the
files into). Press OK. Now switch on the toolbar (ArcMap -- View -- Toolbars) if it is not
already visible.
How do I know if I have the most recent version?
Updates to this package are released regularly. It is safest to just download the most
recent version from the website above whenever you install the software.
I already have Hawths Tools installed, but want to install a newer version. How
do I do this?
Download the most recent version, and follow the instruction above. The older version will
be automatically removed from your system provided that the uninstall files are still
present.
