ArcGIS 8.2
Installation Guide


Version:

Version 8.2

Description:

ArcGIS is a family of software products that form a complete GIS built on industry standards that provide exceptional,yet easy to use, capabilities right out of the box. The 8.2 release marks the first release of a complete, single, integrated system for geographic data creation, management, integration, and analysis. Much more than a specialized offering for a small niche of specialists, ArcGIS is designed as a scalable system that can be deployed in every organization, from an individual desktop to a globally distributed network of people.

Instructions:

This is a tricky installation. There is no network installation available, so you must be sure that you have enough hard disk space.

If you want to install JUST the desktop or workstation, you can install either independently of the other by running the respective installer.

For most people, you will want to install both. Therefore, you must start by logging in with Administrator Rights. You cannot install Arc8 without Administrator rights. Also, make sure that you are logging in as the same user each time the system reboots, or the installation may fail.

Begin by confirming that you have enough disk space.

Now run
"Q:\win32\install\gis\arc8work.exe".

This may take awhile and ask you to reboot. Just follow the instructions. Once this installer is finished, you may continue on to install Arc8Desk. This is located at

"Q:\win32\install\gis\arc8desk.exe".

This program is the desktop portion of ArcInfo 8 including ArcMap and ArcCatalog. This portion of the install may ask you to reboot. Just follow it's instructions and everything should go fine. Once it has completed installing once, please run it again so it may install the proper patches and update your icons. After this portion, the installation should be complete.

CD Key:

None

Special Instructions/Quirks:

1) Must log in as same user each time when installing.
