INSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME ON WINDOWS
The following examples also show the use of a batch file; however, these illustrate
the command-line parameters that should be used to install the ArcGIS
Engine Runtime Java or .NET features, respectively:
JavaRuntime:
REM ############################
REM Set variables
SET MSI_PATH=\Setup.msi
REM ############################
REM Launch MSI Silently - NO UI
msiexec.exe /i "%MSI_PATH%" /qn ADDLOCAL=JavaRuntime
In the example on the right, if .NET
Framework 1.1 is not detected on the machine,
the DotNetRuntime feature will not be installed.
DotNetRuntime:
REM ############################
REM Set variables
SET MSI_PATH=\Setup.msi
REM ############################
REM Launch MSI Silently - NO UI
msiexec.exe /i "%MSI_PATH%" /qn ADDLOCAL=DotNetRuntime
ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME START MENU SHORTCUTS
By default, a complete installation of ArcGIS Engine Runtime 9.1 or later will
create the following shortcuts on the ArcGIS start menu:
• Software authorization
• Authorization summary
The following command-line parameters provide options to not display these
shortcuts on the start menu.
SHORTCUTS = YES This option will install the shortcuts.
SHORTCUTS = NO This option will not install the shortcuts.
In the following example, ArcGIS Engine Runtime is installed silently without
shortcuts:
msiexec.exe /i \setup.msi /qn SHORTCUTS=NO
UNINSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME
These are some points to consider before uninstalling ArcGIS Engine Runtime:
• ArcGIS Engine Runtime should be uninstalled using the Control Panel, not by
deleting files from disk.
• Do not uninstall ArcGIS Engine Runtime during the uninstallation of your
developed application.
• You should recommend strongly to your users that they manually uninstall
ArcGIS Engine Runtime only when they know there are no third-party applications
using it.
