Help Needed: ArcSWAT Error in ArcGIS Pro 3.6 (GDAL Exception)

[ayat.ha...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am trying to run ArcSWAT in ArcGIS Pro 3.6, but I am encountering the following error message:

“Exception caught while trying to run ArcSWAT: The type initializer for ‘OSGeo.GDAL.GdalPINVOKE’ threw an exception.”

This error occurs when I attempt to launch or run ArcSWAT, and it prevents the tool from working properly. I have already verified that ArcGIS Pro 3.6 is installed correctly, but I am not sure whether this issue is related to GDAL configuration, ArcSWAT compatibility, or environment settings.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this error, or let me know if there are specific installation or configuration steps required for ArcSWAT to work with ArcGIS Pro 3.6?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Best regards,
Ayat

I am sorry to tell you that I have been trying to resolve this problem
with ArcGIS Pro version 3.6 but without success so far. The only
solution I know of is to install a 3.5 version.

Chris
