ArcGIS Engine Developer Guide

INSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME ON WINDOWS
You can obtain a redistributable version of the
.NET Framework 1.1 from the Microsoft Web
site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/
netframework/downloads/
framework1_1redist/.
For additional ArcGIS Engine Runtime CDs,
contact ESRI Customer Service at
www.esri.com, or in the USA call
888-377-4575, or contact your local ESRI
regional office.
You cannot redistribute individual ArcGIS Engine
Runtime files; the installation mechanisms
discussed in this appendix are the only means of
installing ArcGIS Engine Runtime files.
General requirements
Irrespective of the installation method you chose for ArcGIS Engine Runtime,
you should be aware of the following:
• Prerequisites—If your ArcGIS Engine-based application was built using
the .NET API, the .NET Framework 1.1 must be installed on your user’s
machine prior to installing the ArcGIS Engine Runtime.
• Older versions of ArcGIS software—ArcGIS Engine Runtime cannot be
installed on any machine that already contains versions of ArcGIS products
prior to the version you will be installing. This includes ArcIMS, ArcGIS
Desktop, ArcGIS Workstation, ArcReader, ArcGIS Engine Runtime, ArcGIS
Server, .NET ADF, and Java ADF.
• Existing installation of ArcGIS Engine Runtime—If the ArcGIS
Engine Runtime setup is launched, and ArcGIS Engine Runtime already exists
on the machine, the setup will execute as a maintenance installation.
• Installation location—Each of the ArcGIS 9 products (ArcGIS Engine
Runtime, ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcReader
standalone, and ArcGIS Server) installs to the same installation directory. The
first ArcGIS 9 product installed determines the installation location for all
subsequent ArcGIS 9 products. For example, if ArcGIS Desktop is installed
to C:\Desktop, the installation location for all ArcGIS 9 products is
C:\Desktop\ArcGIS. If ArcGIS Engine Runtime is installed after ArcGIS
Desktop, the opportunity to browse to an installation location is not provided.
The initial ArcGIS Desktop installation has predetermined the installation
location for all future ArcGIS 9 products. Therefore, in this example, ArcGIS
Engine Runtime will also be installed to C:\Desktop\ArcGIS.
• Disk space—If you run out of disk space while installing an ArcGIS 9 product,
you must uninstall all ArcGIS 9 products and reinstall them to a location
where more disk space is available. ArcGIS 9 products (excluding ArcSDE,
ArcIMS, and ArcInfo Workstation) cannot be installed to different locations.
End user installs ArcGIS Engine Runtime on their system
In this case, your user installs the ArcGIS Engine Runtime either directly from
the CD ESRI provided with the ArcGIS Engine product or from a CD that you
created by copying the contents of the ArcGIS Engine Runtime CD image to it.
You should distribute the following steps or similar instructions to your users:
1. Confirm that any currently installed ArcGIS products are the same version as
the Engine Runtime setup to be installed. To check if any of these products
are installed on the machine and verify the version number:
a. Click Start, Control Panel, and open the Add/Remove Programs dialog box.
b. If ArcGIS Engine Runtime is listed in the programs list, it has been installed
on the machine. Confirm that ArcGIS Engine Runtime is the correct version.
Click Support Information to determine the product version number.
Close the window and proceed to the installation steps for if needed.
