4. Common error messages & workarounds

(1) If the SARSCAPE menu does not display in ENVI CLASSIC and or in the toolbox of ENVI new interface

- For ENVI 4.8 and earlier:

Move the entire content of the C:\program files\SARMAP SA\SARscape x.x\envi_extensions\envi folder into the ENVI directory (for example C:\program files\itt\idl\idl80\products\envi48).

Move the entire content of the C:\program files\SARMAP SA\SARscape x.x\envi_extensions\idl folder into the IDL directory (for example C:\program files\itt\idl\idl80\products\idl).

- For ENVI 5.0 and later:

Move the entire content of the C:\program files\SARMAP SA\SARscape x.x\envi_extensions_50\envi folder into the ENVI directory (for example C:\program files\exelis\envi50).

Move the entire content of the C:\program files\SARMAP SA\SARscape x.x\envi_extensions_50\idl folder into the IDL directory (for example C:\program files\exelis\idl82).

(2) If the following error message is returned when starting ENVI 5.0 SP3 after installing SARSCAPE 5.0.001

IDL installation

it means there is a conflict between different versions of SARscape and you would need to fully uninstall all SARscape versions available on your machine and ENVI 5.0 SP3. Then you would need to reinstall ENVI 5.0 SP 3 and SARscape 5.0.001 (in this order). It should fix the issue
