Installing ArcIMS Overview

The ArcIMS installation consists of two parts, the installation and the post installation.

• The installation is the setup process where you determine what installation features you would like to install. The setup program will install the files required for these features.
• The post installation is the setup process that completes your ArcIMS installation. In the post installation setup, depending on what features were installed, you will be able to authorize ArcIMS for use, configure ArcIMS, configure the ArcSDE Services Monitor, configure your Web server-servlet engine, and configure your system JRE. See the ArcIMS post installation setup section for more information.

To successfully install ArcIMS, both the installation and post installation must be completed.

To install ArcIMS

Choose the installation steps for your configuration:

• Performing a typical installation

• To review your installation settings, refer to log files created during the ArcIMS installation located at <ArcIMS Installation Directory>\Tools. These log files will be removed during uninstallation.
• • install.log—Lists files installed and registry keys created during the installation
  • jre.log—Lists files copied to the system J2SE JRE location during the post installation setup (if applicable)
  • properties.log—Lists edits made to the properties files during the post installation setup
  • WebConfigAction.log—Lists properties used for the configuration of the Web server and servlet engine during the post installation setup

Uninstalling ArcGIS products

If the following products are installed on your machine and are a version of ArcGIS previous to 10, they must be uninstalled before proceeding with the ArcIMS setup.

• ArcGIS Desktop
• ArcInfo Workstation
• ArcReader stand-alone
• ArcIMS
• ArcIMS Web ADF for the Java Platform
• ArcIMS Web ADF for the .NET Framework
• ArcGIS Server for the Java Platform
• ArcGIS Server for the .NET Framework
• ArcGIS Server Web ADF Runtime for the .NET Framework
• ArcGIS Engine Runtime
• ArcGIS Engine Developer Kits
• ArcGIS Desktop Developer Kits
• ArcGIS Image Server (and all clients)

Note:

ArcIMS and ArcSDE must be the same version for the metadata service to function.

The ArcIMS setup will display a dialog box if conflicting versions of these products exist on your machine. If so, you must uninstall them, then run the ArcIMS setup again to proceed with your installation.

All ArcGIS 10 products can exist together.

Use the Windows Control Panel Add/Remove to uninstall conflicting products.
