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

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).
