  4. When Setup starts, follow the instructions on your screen.
  5. After the Setup has finished, stop the Web Server and Servlet Engine and then run the ArcIMS Post Installation. The post installation setup can be run from Start > Programs > ArcGIS > ArcIMS > ArcIMS Post Installation.
  6. In the Post Install, choose the Custom Install option
  7. Check the box for ArcIMS Configuration
  8. Check the box for Web Server – Servlet Engine Configuration
  9. Check the box for ArcIMS JRE Configuration for Manager.

    In the ArcIMS JRE Configuration dialog no changes are necessary, simply keep the defaults and click Next.

  10. Uncheck all other options.
  11. Follow the prompts as explained in the ArcIMS Installation Guide and finish the Post Installation.

  12. The post install will start the ArcIMS Application Server, ArcIMS Monitor and ArcIMS Tasker services. You may need to restart any additional ArcIMS services that may have been stopped for the install.

To find out what ArcGIS products are currently installed on your machine, download and extract the PatchFinder.tar and run PatchFinder utility from your local machine. This utility provides a report detailing which ArcGIS products and which service packs have been installed. The PatchFinder utility searches for the following ArcGIS products.

Extract the tar file by typing:

% tar xvf PatchFinder.tar

Run the utility by typing:

% ./PatchFinder

ArcIMS 9.1 must be installed before you can install this Service Pack.
