Manual Arcview 3.3 Pdf
@SaultDon Thanks. I had checked into mtch.dll, because it was referenced in related messages, but find a copy installed in ESRI/AVGIS30/ArcView/Bin32. The are also copies of sg81.dll and pe81.dll there. These dll's (and the other files-not everything you list is a dll) sound like they may have been installed with extensions rather than base ArcView.
It appears that not all AV installations have the same directory structures and thus, at least for some people, copying the ESRI common files may be a good idea.–Nov 27 '12 at 22:57. For Win7/64: Copy all the files from a working installation.
Put them into identically named drives and folders on the destination machine. This really does work: I have been using AV 3.3 in this mode for the last eight months.
This is the fourth or fifth migration of this sort since the last official install I did about a decade ago. Also working is Spatial Analyst 1.1, which I have not installed from CD in about 14 years.I also tried the Windows VM solution (which emulates Win XP/32). It's awful: there's some kind of incompatibility that causes AV to hang after a fraction of a second and wait for user interaction.
If you keep waving your mouse over the window, it will keep chugging away at a redraw or table processing, but it's still incredibly slow. After hunting the Web for a few weeks to locate a solution, to no avail, I gave up on this kluge.If you have problems with reports of missing DLL files after the migration, please see for a potentially simple fix. You might also need to migrate special files installed by your ArcView extensions if they placed them in idiosyncratic locations. After installing via the other answers, there are couple of things to make things a little friendlier (on Win7):Register the.apr filename extension so you can just 2x-click on SomeProject.apr and thereby bypass the painful AV3 file chooser. Run these command from an administrative command prompt (edit to suit, see for ): assoc.apr=ArcView3.Projectftype ArcView3.Project=C:ESRIARCVIEWBIN32arcview.exe '%1'Install Windows Help Program (WinHlp32.exe) from, assuming you want to read the AV3 help docs that is. Fyi, Thought I'd post my 'final conclusion' after a few days of searching for the right answer and coming across numerous, cumbersome processes to get AV3x on to 64 bit Windows 7. I stumbled upon a pretty obscure but seemingly straight forward answer, somewhere.

You can simply download a 32 bit 'installshield engine' - setup32.exe - and use that to install the AV3x files from original installation media - instead of the 16 bit 'setup.exe' that normally comes with ArcView 3x. Put setup32.exe in the same folder as the ArcView 3x installation stuff, double click, and it installs normally. You might have to run that program in Windows XP compatability mode.I had used a version of AV3x that I copied from an XP installation, but ran into a few problems here and there.

For example, the projection utility wouldn't work. Trying to fix that I got fed-up with all the 'change the registry' stuff, copy this, copy that - so I tried this setup32.exe way. Seems to work so far, projection utility works, though there may be some issues with that that I haven't figured out yet. Everything else I've tried works, though granted, I haven't done a whole lot yet.edit: Here's a link to the page I found that talks about using Installshield 32 bit vs. 16 bit, which includes a link to 'setup32.exe', scroll down to 'Installshield3 shortcut' at that page.
