I've gotten stuck while trying to launch in ArcGIS Pro 3.4. I can see the option in the ArcSWAT ribbon, but upon opening it I get the following error:

Exception caught while trying to run ArcSWAT: Could not find file 'C:\SWAT\SWATEditor\Databases\QSWATRef2012.mdb'.

Then when trying to start either a new file or read an existing map, ArcGIS crashes entirely.

Anyone else encountering this problem?

Hi Hannah, I had this same issue. When you are running the new version of ArcSWAT for ArcGIS Pro it looks for that QSWATRef2012.mdb file, which is missing from that file path. I was able to find that file in another location on my computer and copy it to C:\SWAT\SWATEditor\Databases\
This fixed the problem for me. If you cannot find the file on your computer in another folder on your computer I can post a download link.

I have included Dr. Arun Bawa’s response to the error several users are getting:

 

It is because he/she does not have ArcSWATRef2012.mdb database in database folder: C:\SWAT\SWATEditor\Databases\ArcSWATRef2012.mdb

 

Instructions are given in the video, and links are provided to download databases and place to database folder.
