Installing ArcIMS Overview

The ArcIMS 9.0 install consists of two parts, the installation and the post installation.

The installation is the setup process where you determine what installation features you would like to install. The setup program will install the files required for these features.
The post installation is the setup process that completes your ArcIMS installation. In the post installation setup, depending on what features were installed, you will be able to: authorize ArcIMS for use, configure ArcIMS, configure the ArcSDE Services Monitor, set up the Site Information Converter, configure your Web server-servlet engine, configure your system JRE. See the Post installation setup section for more information.

To successfully install ArcIMS 9.0, both the installation and post installation must be completed.

ArcIMS Documentation is available from the ESRI Software Documentation Library CD.
