INSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME ON WINDOWS
If the JavaRuntime feature was not installed
during the initial installation of ArcGIS Engine
Runtime, it can be installed at a later date by
opening the Add/Remove Programs dialog box,
clicking Change on the ArcGIS Engine Runtime
listing, then clicking Modify. When the Select
Features dialog box opens, right-click on the Java
feature and choose Will be installed on local
hard drive.
ArcGIS service packs are cumulative.
7. The JavaRuntime feature of ArcGIS Engine Runtime requires some additional
postinstallation steps to be performed.
a. Click Start, Control Panel, and System. Double-click System Properties
to open its dialog box.
b. Click Environment Variables on the Advanced tab.
c. In the System variables window, click the Path variable and click Edit.
d. Scroll to the end of the Variable value text box, and add the path to the
ArcGIS\Bin directory. Separate it from previous entries with a semicolon.
e. Continuing on at the end of the same text box, use a semicolon
separator and add in the path to the ArcGIS\Java\jre\bin directory.
The installation of ArcGIS Engine Runtime is now complete. Proceed to the
installation steps for if needed.
Installing an ArcGIS Engine Runtime service pack
If your application also requires an ArcGIS Engine service pack, you can either
instruct your user to download the service pack from http:\\support.esri.com, or
you can provide the service pack (.msp file) on the ArcGIS Engine Runtime CD
that you provided.
You should distribute the following steps or similar instructions to your users (the
steps assume ArcGIS Engine Runtime is already on the target machine.):
1. Check whether the ArcGIS Engine Runtime service pack required has been
installed to the target machine by doing the following:
a. Click Start > Run. Type “Regedit” to open the Registry Editor.
b. Check for the SPNumber registry key under the following registry hive:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\. The SPNumber value
reflects the service pack number installed.
2. Install the service pack using the following command line:
msiexec.exe /p \ArcGIS.msp REINSTALL=ALL
REINSTALLMODE=omus
ArcGIS Engine Runtime setup is included in your application’s installation
program
The second way to distribute the ArcGIS Engine Runtime is for you to incorporate
its setup into your own ArcGIS Engine software-based application’s installation
program. This is possible because ArcGIS Engine Runtime can be installed
without a graphical user interface by running the setup using Windows Installer
command-line parameters. This process utilizes the .msi file and client-side installer
service (msiexec.exe) command-line parameters.
