ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework can be installed without a user interface by running the setup using the Windows Installer command line parameters.
Microsoft Windows Installer version 3.1 must be installed and running on your machine prior to running the ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework setup silently. The Windows Installer, version 3.1 can be installed from <ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework Installation media>\instmsiw3.exe
All system requirements must be met before installing ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework. See Step 1: verify your system requirements for information on system requirements.
All other ArcGIS products of version previous to 9.3, must be uninstalled before proceeding with the ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework setup. ArcGIS products, if they are all version 9.3, can exist together on a single machine.
To run the post install silently, see Running the post install silently.
Notes on installing ArcGIS 9.3 products
The ArcGIS 9.3 products, ArcGIS Engine Runtime, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcReader standalone, and ArcGIS Server will install to the same installation directory. The first ArcGIS 9.3 product installed will determine the installation location for all subsequent ArcGIS 9.3 products. For example, if ArcGIS Desktop is installed to C:\Desktop, the installation location for ArcGIS 9.3 will be C:\Desktop\ArcGIS. If you install ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework next, you will not be provided with the opportunity to browse to an installation location. The ArcGIS Desktop installation has predetermined the installation location for all ArcGIS 9.3 products. Therefore, in this example, ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework will also be installed to C:\Desktop\ArcGIS. If you run out of disk space while installing an ArcGIS 9.3 product, you will need to uninstall all ArcGIS 9.3 products (listed above) and reinstall them to a location where more disk space is available. ArcGIS 9.3 products (excluding ArcSDE, ArcIMS and ArcInfo Workstation) cannot be installed to different locations. NOTE: If you have ArcIMS ArcMap Server 9.3 already installed, ArcGIS 9.3 products will default to the ArcIMS installation location.
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 at the command line. If you do not set this property the default installation location of C:\Program Files\ArcGIS is used. If you have an ArcGIS 9.3 product already on your machine, regardless of what directory you specify using the InstallDir parameter, the setup will install to the location predetermined by the first ArcGIS 9.3 product installed. See Notes on installing ArcGIS 9.3 products above for more information.
INSTALLDIR1=<installation location for Python>
This property allows you to specify the installation location of Python at the command line. If you do not set this property the default installation location of C:\Python25.
Run this command from the command line:
msiexec /i <setup location>\setup.msi /qb
Additional command line parameters available:
InstallDir=<installation directory if you do not want to use the default of C:\Program Files\Arcgis>

Tip

For example:
msiexec /i \\machinename\arcgis_server\setup.msi /qb InstallDir=C:\ArcGIS_Server
Run this command from the command line:
msiexec /i <setup location>\setup.msi /qb ADDLOCAL=ALL
Additional command line parameters available:
InstallDir=<installation directory if you do not want to use the default of C:\Program Files\Arcgis>
For example:
msiexec /i \\machinename\arcgis_server\setup.msi /qb ADDLOCAL=ALL InstallDir=C:\ArcGIS_Server
Run this command from the command line:
msiexec /i <setup location>\setup.msi /qb ADDLOCAL=<feature1>,<feature2>,....

Additional command line properties:
The following are additional command line properties for a silent install and uninstall of ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework. These properties control the restart message and restart of the IIS Web server, and the registering of ASP.NET 2.0. The restart of IIS is required by the Web ADF Runtime, Visual Studio Integration and Web Service Publisher features.
ESRI_RESTART_IIS=FALSE
This property when set to TRUE automatically restarts IIS. By default this property is set to FALSE. FALSE specifies that IIS is not automatically started for you.
In order for ESRI_RESTART_IIS=FALSE to work, ESRI_ASPNET_REGISTER must be set to FALSE. Registering ASP.NET automatically restarts IIS, regardless of the value of ESRI_RESTART_IIS.
ESRI_ASPNET_REGISTER=TRUE
This property when set to TRUE will automatically register ASP.NET 2.0 with Microsoft IIS. By default this property is set to TRUE. See Verify system requirements for more information.
ESRI_WEBAPPS_INSTANCE=<Instance Name>
The field <Instance name> can be replaced by the name of the ArcGIS Server Manager instance you want to create. If this command line parameter is not specified, the default instance name is ArcGIS. The instance name cannot contain spaces.
ESRI_WEBAPPS_PORT
This property configures the port number used by the ArcGIS Server Manager instance. By default this property is set to a port already in use by your Web Server (80 in most cases). The port entered must be a valid port number. If an invalid port number is entered, the installation process will fail. See Non-default IIS configurations for more information.
For example:
msiexec /i \\machinename\arcgis_server\setup.msi /qb ADDLOCAL=ALL InstallDir=C:\ArcGIS_Server ESRI_WEBAPPS_INSTANCE=Test_instance ESRI_WEBAPPS_PORT=81
Run this command from the command line:
msiexec /x {9ACB5D84-EC39-48E8-9970-4812B6F6738E} /qb
