Installing ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework silently
ArcGIS Server 10 - GIS Services and ArcGIS Server 10 - Web Applications can be installed without a user interface by running the setups 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 setups silently. Windows Installer version 3.1 can be installed from <ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework Installation media>\instmsi3.exe.
- All system requirements must be met before installing the ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework setups. 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 MSIs 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 of C:\Python26 is used.
How to perform a typical installation of ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework silently
Run this command from the command line:
msiexec /i <setup location>\setup.msi /qb
Additional command line parameters are available:
InstallDir=<installation directory if you do not want to use the default of C:\Program Files\Arcgis\Server10.0 >
For example:
GIS Services
msiexec /i \\machinename\Server_dotnet_GIS_Services\setup.msi /qb InstallDir=C:\ArcGIS_Server
Web Applications
msiexec /i \\machinename\Server_dotnet_Web_Applications\setup.msi /qb
How to perform a complete installation of ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework silently
Run this command from the command line:
msiexec /i <setup location>\setup.msi /qb ADDLOCAL=ALL
Additional command line parameters are available:
InstallDir=<installation directory if you do not want to use the default of C:\Program Files\Arcgis\Server10.0>
For example:
GIS Services
msiexec /i \\machinename\Server_dotnet_GIS_Services\setup.msi /qb ADDLOCAL=ALL InstallDir=C:\ArcGIS_Server
Web Applications
msiexec /i \\machinename\Server_dotnet_Web_Applications\setup.msi /qb ADDLOCAL=ALL
How to perform a custom installation of ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework silently
Run this command from the command line:
GIS Services or Web Applications
msiexec /i <setup location>\setup.msi /qb ADDLOCAL=<feature1>,<feature2>,....

Additional command line parameters available:
InstallDir=<installation directory if you do not want to use the default of C:\Program Files\Arcgis\Server10.0>
For example:
msiexec /i \\machinename\server_dotnet_GIS_Services\setup.msi /qb ADDLOCAL=Server_object_manager,Server_object_container InstallDir=C:\ArcGIS_Server
Note:
- All relevant files will also be installed with the specified feature.
- Names of features are case sensitive.
Command line properties for configuring Services Manager, Web Services, and Applications Manager
The following are command line properties used for configuring the IIS dependent features: Services Manager and Web Services in the GIS Services setup and Applications Manager in the Web Applications setup. IIS is required to install these features.
- INSTANCE=<name of ArcGIS Server instance>
This command line parameter is optional. By default, the INSTANCE property is set to ArcGIS. If you do not invoke the INSTANCE parameter in your command line, the instance will be created as ArcGIS. The parameter INSTANCE is case sensitive. The instance name cannot contain spaces.
- WEBSITE_ID=<numeric value of Web site>
The WEBSITE_ID parameter is used to determine the Web site where the ArcGIS Server instance will be created. The value for WEBSITE_ID is a number specific to each Web site on your server and assigned by IIS. The IDs for the Web sites on your server can be found in IIS Manager. The Default Web Site has a Web site ID of 1. This command line parameter is optional. By default, the WEBSITE_ID parameter is set to the Default Web Site (even if multiple Web sites exist). The parameter WEBSITE_ID is case sensitive.
For example:
GIS Services
msiexec /i \\machinename\server_dotnet_GIS_Services\setup.msi /qb InstallDir=C:\ArcGIS_Server INSTANCE=ArcGIS_External WEBSITE_ID=4059640
Web Applications with GIS Services already installed (see note below)
msiexec /i \\machinename\server_dotnet_Web_Applications\setup.msi /qb
Web Applications without GIS Services installed
msiexec /i \\machinename\server_dotnet_Web_Applications\setup.msi /qb InstallDir=C:\ArcGIS_Server INSTANCE=ArcGIS_External WEBSITE_ID=4059640
Note:If you are installing GIS Services and Web Applications, the first setup installed will determine the instance configuration of the second setup. For example, if the GIS Services instance is configured with an instance name of ArcGIS and created on the Default Web Site, the Web Applications instance will be automatically created under the instance created by the GIS Services setup (instance ArcGIS on the Default Web Site). This behavior is the same if Web Applications is installed first, then GIS Services.
