INSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME ON WINDOWS
8. The third action calls the Launch_Engine_SP_1 that you previously created.
These three custom actions should execute only if the property LaunchSP
does not equal True.
In the example on the right, MSI_PATH will
change depending on where the ArcGIS Engine
Runtime setup is located on the media. In this
example, Setup.msi is located on the CD in a
folder named ArcEngine. MSP_PATH will change
depending on where the ArcGIS Engine Runtime
service pack is located. In this example, the
service pack is located on the CD.
Launching the ArcGIS Engine Runtime installation within a scripted setup
A second way you can install ArcGIS Engine Runtime within your own application
is via a scripted setup that utilizes the available command-line parameters.
The example script below was created using the Wise InstallMaster setup
authoring software. It includes the installation of ArcGIS Engine Runtime and
service pack 1.
Rem Set variable
Set variable MSI_PATH to \ArcEngine\setup.msi
Set variable MSP_PATH to \ArcGISEngine90sp1.msp
Rem launch ArcGIS Engine Runtime setup program silently – No UI
Execute %SYS32%\msiexec.exe /i %MSI_PATH% /qn (Wait)
Rem launch ArcGIS Engine Runtime service pack silently – No UI
Execute %SYS32%\msiexec.exe /p %MSP_PATH% /qn (Wait)
Launching the ArcGIS Engine Runtime installation within a batch file
Yet another way that the ArcGIS Engine Runtime setup can be combined with
your application’s installation program is within batch files. The following example
again takes advantage of the available command-line parameters and
implements them within a batch file rather than a scripted setup. This example
includes the installation of ArcGIS Engine Runtime and service pack 1.
REM ############################
REM Set variables
SET MSI_PATH=\ArcEngine\Setup.msi
SET MSP_PATH=\ArcGISEngine90sp1.msp
REM ############################
REM Launch MSI Silently - NO UI
msiexec.exe /i "%MSI_PATH%" /qn
msiexec.exe /p "%MSP_PATH%” /qn
REM Launch MSI Silently - Reduced UI
msiexec.exe /i "%MSI_PATH%" /qb
msiexec.exe /p "%MSP_PATH%" /qb
REM Launch MSI Silently - No UI except for a modal dialog box displayed at
the end.
msiexec.exe /i "%MSI_PATH%" /qn+
msiexec.exe /p "%MSP_PATH%" /qn+
