INSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME ON SOLARIS AND LINUX
• Existing installation of ArcGIS Engine Runtime—If the ArcGIS
Engine Runtime setup is launched, and ArcGIS Engine Runtime already exists
on the machine, a message is displayed informing the user that the product
should be installed to the same installation directory as the existing ArcGIS
Engine Runtime.
If the ArcMap Server component of ArcIMS 9 is
already installed, ArcGIS 9 products will default
to the ArcIMS installation location.
• Installation location—Each of the ArcGIS 9 products (ArcGIS Engine
Runtime, ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit, ArcReader, and ArcGIS Server)
install to the same installation directory. The first ArcGIS 9 product installed
determines the installation location for all subsequent ArcGIS 9 products. For
example, if ArcReader is installed to
/disk1/ArcGIS9, the installation location for all ArcGIS 9 products is /disk1/
ArcGIS9/ArcGIS. If ArcGIS Engine Runtime is installed after ArcReader,
the opportunity to browse to an installation location is not be provided. The
initial ArcReader installation has predetermined the installation location for all
future ArcGIS 9 products. Therefore, in this example, ArcGIS Engine
Runtime will also be installed to /disk1/ArcGIS9/ArcGIS.
• Disk space—If you run out of disk space while installing an ArcGIS 9
product, you must uninstall all ArcGIS 9 products (listed above) and reinstall
them to a location where more disk space is available. ArcGIS 9 products
(excluding ArcSDE, ArcIMS, and ArcInfo Workstation) cannot be installed to
different locations.
For additional ArcGIS Engine Runtime CDs,
contact ESRI Customer Service at
www.esri.com, or in the USA call
888-377-4575, or contact your local ESRI
regional office.
You cannot redistribute individual ArcGIS Engine
Runtime files; the installation mechanisms
discussed in this appendix are the only means of
installing ArcGIS Engine Runtime files.
End user installs ArcGIS Engine Runtime on their system
In this case, your user installs the ArcGIS Engine Runtime either directly from
the CD ESRI provided with the ArcGIS Engine product or from a CD that you
created by copying the contents of the ArcGIS Engine Runtime CD image to it.
If you create a custom CD that contains your own content as well as the ArcGIS
Engine Runtime setup, the ArcGIS Engine Runtime directory structure must
remain intact.
For example, the ArcGIS Engine Runtime CD image is as follows:
ArcGISEngineRT/
Setup
support/
If you repackage the ArcGIS Engine Runtime CD image, your image may look
similar to this:
ThirdPartyStuff/
MoreThirdPartyStuff/
SomeArbitraryFolderName/
ArcGISEngineRT/
Setup
support/
Whether you create a custom CD or provide your user with the ArcGIS Engine
Runtime CD furnished by ESRI, you should distribute the following steps or
similar instructions to your users:
