Steps to extract ArcGIS Explorer Desktop SDK installation files
|
Note for silent installations: Extracting the installation files is only necessary if you downloaded ArcGIS Explorer SDK. If you received installation media, command line parameters can be executed directly from the setup files located on the media. |
Extracting the ArcGIS Explorer Desktop SDK download is necessary if you intend to install ArcGIS Explorer Desktop SDK silently. Silent installations are performed using the Setup.msi and Windows Installer command line parameters. ArcGIS Explorer Desktop SDK installation files are downloaded to the downloading user's TEMP folder. Access the TEMP folder by opening Windows Explorer and entering %TEMP% for the address, using the same user account that downloaded ArcGIS Explorer Desktop SDK. Browse to the %TEMP%\ArcGISExplorerSDK\2500 folder and copy all files to a different location of your choice. These are the files used to perform silent installations. A list of the files downloaded to the 2500 folder is provided below.
