3) "The Geographic Imaging Objects (GIO) Application Repair Utility will repair most installation problems that may occur when you install a series of products and their Service Packs and Extensions (Leica Photogrammetry Suite (LPS), LPS 8.7, ArcGIS 8.3, ArcGIS 9.0, and ArcGIS 9.1). Once this repair utility is installed the problems should be fixed. This utility eliminates the need to maintain the installation order of all ESRI products and patches, and subsequently all Leica products and patches. To ensure the stability of both ESRI and Leica products co-existing on the same machine, this utility should be run after each new install and uninstall." per ERDAS/Leica.
