ArcGIS Server Prerequisites - Conditions Préalables ArcGIS Server

Introduction

This topic describes the Installation requirement of ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 on Windows 2008 server R2 64Bit version. Installation process consists of several interrelated activities with possible transitions between them. Because every installation system is unique, the precise processes or procedures within each activity can hardly be defined.

In this document I have tried to specify each & every minor detail related to the ArcGIS Server installation requirements of ArcGIS Server 9.3.1.

ArcGIS Server
I. System Requirements
A. 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)

B. Disk Space Requirements

Complete installation 1500 MB
176 MB of this disk space will be required on your system drive.

C. 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.

D. Microsoft .NET Framework requirement

ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework requires Microsoft .NET
Framework 2.0.

E. 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 ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework.

F. Support for 64-bit processors

ArcGIS Server 9.2 and higher is supported on the Intel and AMD 64-bit
processor families. ArcGIS Server is a native 32-bit application. It is
certified to run as a 32-bit application on 64-bit (x64) Microsoft Windows.
ArcGIS Server requires IIS and ASP.NET 2.0 to run in 32-bit mode.

G. Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)

The Web Applications feature of the ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET
Framework setup, requires Microsoft IIS.

H. 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.

I. Python

Python 2.5.1 and Numerical Python 1.0.3 are required to support certain core
Geoprocessing tools. It is recommended that Python 2.5.1 and Numerical Python
1.0.3 are installed by the ArcGIS Server setup. Users can choose to not
install Python 2.5.1 and Numerical Python 1.0.3 by unselecting the Python
feature during installation. The Python feature is a sub-feature of Server
Object Container.

J. 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
