Software Requirements
Python Requirement for Geoprocessing | ArcGIS Engine geoprocessing tools require that Python 2.6.x and Numerical Python 1.3.0 are installed. If the ArcGIS Engine setup does not find either Python 2.6.x or Numerical Python (NumPy) 1.3.0 installed on the target computer, Python 2.6.5 and Numerical Python 1.3.0 will be installed during a complete installation. You can choose a Custom installation to unselect the Python feature and avoid installing it. Additionally, if the Python setup is executed during the ArcGIS Engine installation, you will be provided with the opportunity to choose its installation location. The Python installation location should not include spaces. |
Microsoft .NET Framework Requirement | Windows: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 must be installed for solutions developed using the Microsoft .NET Framework. |
Java Requirement | Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6 update 16 (32-bit) is required for solutions developed using the Java Platform. |
Microsoft WinHelp Patch | Windows 7 and Windows Vista: The following Microsoft patch is recommended, but not required, when using ArcGIS Desktop, ArcInfo Workstation, ArcGIS Engine, or ArcReader on Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 7. ArcGIS Desktop, ArcInfo Workstation, ArcGIS Engine, and ArcReader provide pop-up context sensitive help topics for tools, commands, and dialog boxes delivered using WinHlp32. WinHlp32 will not function on Windows 7 and Windows Vista without this patch. Here is Microsoft Knowledge Base article 917607 about this patch, which also contains links so you can download the patch. If you access pop-up context sensitive help without this patch being present, you will get a message from Windows prompting you to download the patch. For best usability, we recommend installing the patch at the time you install ArcGIS. For additional information, please refer to Esri Knowledge Base article 32530. |
Browser Requirement | Windows: ArcGIS Engine Runtime requires a minimum installation of Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 7.0 or 8.0. If you do not have an installation of Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 7.0/8.0, you must obtain and install it prior to installing ArcGIS Engine Runtime. Linux/Solaris: ArcGIS Engine Runtime requires a minimum installation of the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. If you do not have an installation of Mozilla Firefox, it is recommended you obtain and install it prior to installing ArcGIS Engine Runtime. |
