Perform silent installation of ArcGIS Pro with a patch in a single command

Summary

ArcGIS Pro can be installed in the background of a system to save the machine’s resources by using commands instead of installers. The core and patch installation can be installed silently using the Microsoft Command Prompt. This workflow combines both the core and patch installation. This article highlights the workflow for silently installing ArcGIS Pro and the patch using a single-line command.

Procedure

Note:
ArcGIS Pro Intelligence is no longer included in the installer starting with ArcGIS Pro 3.1. This product has been replaced by ArcGIS AllSource, which requires separate installation and licensing. Refer to ArcGIS AllSource: Migrate from ArcGIS Pro Intelligence 2.x to ArcGIS AllSource for more information.

Note:
Ensure the required Microsoft components such as Microsoft C++, .NET, and SDK runtime are installed before using the script. Additionally, the installer files can be placed into a single folder and set the specific folder as a shared drive for better indexing of folder search.

 

1. In the Windows machine, run Windows Command Prompt.
2. Run the msiexec command with the folder location for the .msp file to run the core installation.

msiexec /i <directory to ArcGIS Pro core installer>\ArcGISPro.msi

3. Set the patch parameter. Insert the folder location for the .msp file to run the patch installation as the values.

PATCH=<directory to ArcGIS Pro core installer>\patch_file_name.msp

4. Accept the master agreement. Set the value to 'YES' to allow installation to continue.

ACCEPTEULA=YES

5. Set the installation context, whether the installation is only for all users on the machine, or for the current active user. Set the value to '1', for all users, or '2', for the current active user.

ALLUSERS=1

6. Determine the desired features to be installed. In this example, the value is set to 'Pro' to install ArcGIS Pro only. If all installations are necessary, the value is set to 'ALL'.

ADDLOCAL=Pro

7. Set the parameters for participations in the Esri User Experience. Set the value '0' to opt out, or '1' to join.

ENABLEEUEI=0

8. Enable or disable the update notification. Set the value to '0' to disable automatic update, or set the value '1' to enable.

CHECKFORUPDATESATSTARTUP=0

Note:
Optional user interface appearance can also be set, if desired. Add one of the following commands based on the requirement:
- /qb - to set basic user interface with progress status and error handling.
- /qr - to set a reduced user interface appearance.
- /qn - no user interface. The installation process is completed when the command prompt finish running.

The following code block demonstrates the full command.

msiexec /i "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\Installation_ArcGISPro\ArcGISPro\ArcGISPro.msi" PATCH="C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\Installation_ArcGISPro\ArcGISPro\ArcGIS_Pro_355_195505.msp" ACCEPTEULA=YES ADDLOCAL=Pro ALLUSERS=1 ENABLEEUEI=0 CHECKFORUPDATESATSTARTUP=0 /qb
