Installing this Service Pack on Windows

Installation Notes


ArcGIS Desktop 10:

  • It is important to keep all versions of ArcGIS products installed on the same machine in sync to avoid any software conflicts.
  • If you have installed client setups from a shared Network Administrative ArcGIS Desktop setup, Service Pack 2 must be applied to all client installations.
  • Windows 2003 Server users, see Technical Article 33818 if you encounter Error 1718. File was rejected by digital signature policy.
  • Service Pack 2 is supported with the ArcGIS Desktop 10 Evaluation Edition.

ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .Net Framework users:

  • ArcGIS Server 10 for the Microsoft .NET Framework has been separated into two setups: ArcGIS Server 10 - GIS Services and ArcGIS Server 10 - Web Applications.

    • ArcGIS Server 10 - GIS Services installs the Server Object Manager (SOM), Server Object Container (SOC), Services Manager, and Web Services (SOAP/REST) components.
    • ArcGIS Server 10 - Web Applications installs the Applications Manager and Software Developer Kit (SDK) components.


ArcGIS Server Post Install:

  • The ArcGIS Server Post Install will automatically launch after the update has been applied. If this doesn't happen, please be sure to launch the GIS Server Post Install and Web Services Post Install (if ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework is installed) manually from the shortcuts found in your Start menu.

    The GIS Server Post Install will provide the ArcGIS Server Object Manager (SOM), ArcGIS Server Object Container (SOC), the GIS Server Manager (on ArcGIS Server Java) and the GIS Server Webservices (on ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework ) user accounts that were given the last time the post install was run. To avoid disrupting the operation of your server installation you should use these same accounts and provide the same passwords that were given the last time you ran the Post Install.

    If you prefer, the Post Install can create new accounts, but you will need to update the permissions on your data and non-default output server directories to grant access to the new ArcGIS Server Object Container (SOC) account. Additionally, if you previously had large caches associated with cached Map or Globe services it may take a very long time for the Server Post Install to alter the permissions on the large number of files in your caches (see Technical Article 32766 for a suggested workaround).

    For help on getting started after installing ArcGIS Server, refer to the Administering the server--> Getting started after install topic in ArcGIS Server Help.

ArcGIS Server on Amazon EC2 users:

  • New ArcGIS Server on Amazon EC2 AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) that include 10.0 SP2 are available to existing ArcGIS Server on Amazon EC2 customers.

    Please Note: If you choose to apply the service packs to your existing 10.0 or 10.0 SP1 instances, please do not install ArcGIS License Manager SP2 due to a known problem when authorizing the ArcGIS License Manager on cloud platforms. Please see Technical Article 38948 for more information about the ArcGIS License Manager.

ArcIMS and ArcSDE users:

  • If you use ArcIMS 10 or the ArcSDE 10 application server, you must also install ArcIMS 10 Service Pack 2 or ArcSDE 10 Service Pack 2. For example, if you use ArcIMS 10 and ArcGIS 10 Desktop, install both ArcIMS 10 Service Pack 2 and ArcGIS 10 Service Pack 2 . Since ArcIMS 10 Service Pack 2, ArcSDE 10 Service Pack 2 and the ArcGIS 10 Service Pack 2 products share common DLLs, it is important to keep the software release versions in sync to avoid any software conflicts.

    • After you install ArcGIS 10 Service Pack 2, you must upgrade your ArcSDE geodatabase. Instructions on how to upgrade can be found in the Upgrade Geodatabase (Data Management) help topic.


System Administrators:

  • A technical paper is available that discusses the enterprise deployment of ArcGIS 10 setups using Microsoft® Systems Management Server (SMS) and Group Policy, including additional system requirements, suggestions, known issues, and Microsoft Software Installation (MSI) command line parameters. Deployment in a lockdown environment is also covered. ArcGIS 10 Enterprise Deployment.

 

Installation Steps
