INSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME ON WINDOWS
The first action sets the MSI_PATH property to
[SourceDir]ArcEngine\Setup.exe. This will change depending on where the
ArcGIS Engine Runtime setup is located on the media. In this example,
Setup.exe is located on the CD in a folder named ArcEngine. The setup.exe
file will be the admin installation with the required service pack applied.
The second action calls the Launch_Engine_MSI that you previously created.
Both these custom actions should execute only if the property
ArcEngineExists does not equal True. ArcEngineExists should equal True only
if ArcGIS Engine Runtime and the service pack are detected on the target
machine.
For scenario 2, you will have to provide the required ArcGIS Engine Runtime
service pack (.msp file) on the CD. When deploying ArcGIS Engine Runtime in
this particular deployment method, your user will have ArcGIS Engine Runtime
already on the target machine, and only the service pack is required.
Follow these steps to launch the ArcGIS Engine Runtime service pack when it’s
on your application’s media:
1. Create Properties MSP_PATH, MSIEXEC_PATH, and InstallSP and initialize
them to 1 in the Property table.
2. Perform a system check for ArcGIS Engine Runtime and the service pack at
the beginning of your setup program. The system check should search for the
ArcGIS Engine Runtime RealVersion registry key and SPNumber registry
key. The InstallSP property should be set to True if the RealVersion registry
key value matches your requirement, but the SPNumber registry key value
does not match your requirement. In this case, the machine has the ArcGIS
Engine Runtime product installed but does not have the required service pack.
3. Create a custom action called Launch_Engine_SP_1. You can change the
number to whichever version of the ArcGIS Engine Runtime service pack
your application requires. This example is installing ArcGIS Engine Runtime
service pack 1. This custom action will launch the service pack (.msp file)
using the following syntax:
msiexec.exe /p \ArcGISEngine90sp1.msp /qn
