INSTALLATION OF ARCGIS ENGINE DEVELOPER KIT
To install it, insert the ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit CD into the CD drive to
automatically start the setup program and follow the setup instructions. If any
other ArcGIS products are installed on the machine, the install will default to the
same location. ArcGIS COM libraries will be installed automatically by the install.
If your chosen API is Java or .NET, you will need to install the Java or .NET
ArcGIS Engine support features.
• The .NET feature will install a .NET assembly for each COM library. Prior to
installing the .NET feature, Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 must be installed
on the machine.
• The Java feature will install a .jar file for each COM library. Prior to installing
the Java feature, JDK 1.4.2 must be installed on the machine.
A separate developer kit can be installed for the COM, .NET, Java, and C++
APIs containing help, object model diagrams, tools, and any specific API components.
Samples are provided for the ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine, and
ArcGIS Server products.
