INSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME ON WINDOWS
Follow these steps to launch the setup.exe file for ArcGIS Engine Runtime when
it’s located in an ArcEngine folder on your application’s media:
1. Create Properties MSI_PATH and ArcEngineExists and initialize them to 1 in
the Property table.
2. Perform a system check for ArcGIS Engine Runtime at the beginning of your
setup program. The system check should search for the RealVersion and
SPNumber registry key and set the property ArcEngineExists to True if the
registry values returned match your requirement.
3. Create a custom action called Launch_Engine_MSI. Use the Execute Program
From Path type of custom action. Set the Property in this custom action to
MSI_PATH. The path to execute the program from is the path specified in the
Property field—in this case, MSI_PATH. Leave Command Line blank, as
setup.exe is being launched.In the Exit dialog box of your application’s setup
program, add two actions behind the Finish button control.
