Installing ArcGIS Server for the Java Platform silently
ArcGIS Server 10 for the Java Platform can be installed without a user interface by running the setup using the Windows Installer command line parameters.
Requirements
- Microsoft Windows Installer version 3.1 must be installed and running on your machine prior to running the ArcGIS Server 10 for the Java Platform setup silently. Windows Installer version 3.1 can be installed from <ArcGIS Server for the Java Platform Installation CD>\instmsi3.exe.
- All system requirements must be met before installing ArcGIS Server 10 for the Java Platform. See Step 1: Verify system requirements for information on system requirements.
- To run the post installation silently, see Running the post installation silently.
Installation location command line parameters
The following are the command line parameters to be used when executing the ArcGIS Server MSI directly. Use these with the MSI direct commands to change the installation location of ArcGIS Server or the installation location of Python.
- INSTALLDIR=<installation location for ArcGIS Server>
This property allows you to specify the installation location of ArcGIS Server from the command line. If you do not set this property, the default installation location of C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server10.0 is used.
- INSTALLDIR1=<installation location for Python>
This property allows you to specify the installation location of Python from the command line. If you do not set this property, the default installation location is C:\Python26 (or the disk drive with the largest amount of space).
