Map 2012 Coordinate system files missing

[rick-chappell]

  I'm working with 2012 now, and trying the new coordinate system tools, but it doesn't look like everything's installed correclty. I get an unhandled exception, and it tells me the specified file was not found:  Datums.CSD. I'm assuming the datum files didn't install correctly - when connecting to FDO data sources (Shape files) with a projection file, I'm getting an error that it's an unknown projection file (common projections).

  Dows anyone know were the new projection files are stored in 2012, or know of a cause for this?

  Thanks,

  Rick
