INSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME ON SOLARIS AND LINUX
If the ArcGIS Engine Runtime setup is launched,
and ArcGIS Engine Runtime already exists on the
machine, the installation dialog boxes will display
a message informing you that the product will
be installed to the same installation directory as
the existing ArcGIS Engine Runtime.
The Choose Install Type panel of the ArcGIS
Engine Runtime installation wizard is illustrated
on the right. The possible types are discussed
below.
1. Check whether ArcGIS Engine Runtime and the optional Java feature (if
needed) have already been installed to the target machine by doing the following:
a. Open the $HOME/ESRI.properties. file.
If the file exists, continue to Step 1b. If not, the ArcGIS Engine Runtime
has not been installed; continue to Step 2.
b. Check for the following property:
Z_ArcGISEngineRT_INSTALL_DIR
If it is listed, then ArcGIS Engine Runtime is installed on the target machine
and you may not need to launch the ArcGIS Engine Runtime setup.
Continue to Step 1c if your application requires the Java feature; otherwise,
close the file and proceed to the installation steps for if needed.
If the property is not listed, the ArcGIS Engine Runtime has not been
installed. Continue to Step 2.
c. Navigate to the installation location indicated by the
Z_ArcGISEngineRT_INSTALL_DIR property. If the
/java/arcgis_system.jar file is present, the ArcGIS Engine Runtime Java
feature is installed on the machine. Proceed to the installation steps for
if needed.
If the file is not present, the JavaRuntime feature for ArcGIS Engine
Runtime has not been installed. Continue to Step 2.
2. Confirm that any currently installed ArcGIS products are the same version as
the version you are installing. This includes ArcIMS with ArcMap Server,
ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit, ArcReader, ArcGIS Engine Runtime, and
ArcGIS Server. To check if any of these products are installed on the machine
and verify the version number:
a. Open the $HOME/ESRI.properties. file.
b. Look for the Z_REAL_VERSION property to determine the versions of
ArcGIS products installed on the machine.
c. If the versions displayed are the same, proceed to Step 3. If the versions
displayed are not the same, the products need to be removed before installing
ArcGIS Engine Runtime. Do not proceed to Step 3 until these products
have been uninstalled.
3. Launch the ArcGIS Engine Runtime installation program by executing the
Setup file.
4. Click Next on the Welcome dialog box, review and accept the license agreement,
then click Next to proceed with the installation.
