Step 1: Verify system requirements

The following system requirements are required to run ArcIMS Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework.

 

For the latest information on system requirements visit http://support.esri.com, select software > ArcIMS > System Requirements and verify that your machine meets system requirements before installing ArcIMS.

 

Check the ESRI Support Site for patches and service packs at http://support.esri.com, select Downloads > Patches and Service Packs > ArcIMS.

 

Supported operating system

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 3 or later

Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 1 or later

Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Service Pack 3 or later

Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Service Packs are optional

Microsoft Windows Vista

Microsoft Windows Server 2008

(All of the above hereafter collectively referred to as Windows)

 

The following disk space is required to install ArcIMS Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework:

Disk Space Requirements

 

Complete installation

500 MB

50 MB of this disk space will be required on your system drive.

 

Windows Installer 3.1 requirement

Launching Setup.exe will automatically install Windows Installer 3.1 if it is not present on your system.  If Windows Installer 3.1 is present, the installation will proceed without installing Windows Installer 3.1. The Windows Installer 3.1 software (Instmsi3.exe) is provided in the installation media.

 

Microsoft .NET Framework requirement

ArcIMS Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.

 

Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 Requirement

ArcIMS Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework requires Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0. Launching Setup.exe will automatically install Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 if it is not present on your system.  If Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 is present, the installation will proceed without installing Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0.  Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 Extensions AJAX 1.0 installation software is also provided in the ArcIMS Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework installation media.

 

Microsoft Visual Studio

 

Microsoft Visual Studio Express Editions

 

Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)

The ArcIMS Web Manager feature of the ArcIMS Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework setup, requires IIS.

Note:  Certain IIS components are required when performing an installation on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.  If these components are not installed, the ArcIMS Web Manager feature will not be visible.  For installations on Windows Vista, see Additional Vista requirements for more information.  For installations on Windows Server 2008, see Additional Windows Server 2008 requirements for more information.

 

ASP.NET 2.0

If you have Microsoft IIS installed, ASP.NET 2.0 must be registered with Microsoft IIS. If ASP.NET 2.0 is not registered with Microsoft IIS, the setup program will inform you and will re-register ASP.NET 2.0 for you. ASP.NET may not be correctly registered if multiple ASP.NET applications are running side-by-side. For more details, see the information on the ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe) at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;894435

ASP.NET 2.0 needs to be registered with IIS so that you can work with ArcIMS Web Manager and the Web ADF controls and classes, which have been designed to work with the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.

 

Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher required

Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher is required. You must obtain and install Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher, prior to installing ArcIMS Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework.

 

Support for 64-bit processors

ArcIMS and ArcIMS Web ADFs are supported on the Intel and AMD 64-bit processor families. They are certified to run as a 32-bit application on 64-bit (x64) Microsoft Windows.  Web server support is based on the Web server vendor’s support of 64-bit Microsoft Windows. Check with a Web server vendor, if the Web server is supported on 64-bit Microsoft Windows.  The ArcIMS Web Manager feature requires IIS and ASP.NET 2.0 to run in 32-bit mode.  See Installing on a 64-bit processor for more information.

 

Additional Software and Development Requirements

An OpenGL 1.2 or higher compliant video card is required, with at least 32 MB of video memory. However 64 MB of video memory or higher is recommended.

 

Supported  Web servers

Microsoft IIS 5.0 with ASP.NET 2.0 support

Microsoft IIS 6.0 with ASP.NET 2.0 support

Microsoft IIS 7.0 with ASP.NET 2.0 support

 

To use Web ADF controls and classes, Microsoft IIS should be installed.

 

Interaction between ArcIMS Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework 9.3 and ArcGIS products previous to 9.3

If the following products are installed on your machine and are a version previous to 9.3, they must be uninstalled before proceeding with the ArcIMS Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework setup:

 

ArcGIS Desktop

ArcInfo Workstation

ArcReader standalone

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)

 

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

 

These products, if they are all version 9.3 can exist together on the same machine.

 

 

Notes on installing ArcGIS 9.3 products

The ArcGIS 9.3 products, ArcGIS Engine Runtime, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcReader standalone, ArcGIS Developer Kits, ArcGIS Server, and ArcIMS Web ADFs 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 ArcIMS Web ADF 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, ArcIMS Web ADF 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.
