ArcGIS Server for the Java Platform 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 Java Platform setup silently. The Windows Installer, version 3.1 can be installed from <ArcGIS Server for the Java Platform Installation CD>\instmsiw3.exe
All system requirements must be met before installing ArcGIS Server for the Java Platform. 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 Java Platform 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 Java Platform 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 Java Platform 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 is C:\Python25 (or the disk drive with the largest amount of space).
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>,....

Server Object Container |
The Server Object Container (SOC) can be installed on one or more Windows machines. These container machines host the server objects that are managed by the SOM. |
Server_object_manager |
Server Object Manager |
The Server Object Manager (SOM) is a Windows service running on a single machine. The SOM manages the set of server objects that are distributed across one or more container machines. |

Application Developer Framework |
The Application Developer Framework facilitates the development of ArcGIS Server applications. It includes Web controls, EJBs, Web Mapping Application, samples, and documentation. |
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=Server_object_manager,Server_object_container InstallDir=C:\ArcGIS_Server
