Install ArcGIS AllSource

The instructions below describe how to download and install ArcGIS AllSource.

After reviewing the system requirements and downloading the installation files for ArcGIS AllSource, you can install the application on your computer.

You can make either a per-machine installation (the default) or a per-user installation of ArcGIS AllSource. A per-machine installation allows any user to run ArcGIS AllSource on the computer on which it is installed. A per-user installation allows only the user who installs it to run the application.

The default installation location for a per-machine installation is <System Drive>\Program Files\ArcGIS\AllSource.

The default installation location for a per-user installation is <System Drive>\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\ArcGIS\AllSource.

Note:

To make a per-user installation on supported Windows Server operating systems, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer registry key must contain the REG_DWORD data type DisableMSI, with a value of 0. For more information, see DisableMSI in the Microsoft documentation.

Download ArcGIS AllSource from My Esri

Before installing ArcGIS AllSource, it must be downloaded. You can download ArcGIS AllSource from My Esri. You can download ArcGIS AllSource, as well as optional components such as software patches, and ancillary data products, from My Esri if you have permission to download software. For more information, open the My Esri help and go to Common Questions and Guided Help.

Note:

Download permission is typically restricted to software administrators or a small number of designated people in an organization. You will not see the Downloads tab in My Esri unless you have permission.

By default, the English-language version of the application is downloaded. You can run ArcGIS AllSource in a different language by downloading a language pack in one of the following ways:

Download a localized version of ArcGIS AllSource.
Download ArcGIS AllSource and download a language pack separately.

A localized version bundles ArcGIS AllSource and a language pack in one executable file (.exe).

To download ArcGIS AllSource and other software components from My Esri, complete the following steps:

Go to My Esri.
Click the My Organizations tab and click the Downloads tab under it.

Note:

If there is no Downloads tab, you are not authorized to download the software. Click the Request Permissions side tab. You can complete a form to request download permission from your software administrator, or you can click the Contact My Administrator button to send a direct message.
In the list of available products, next to ArcGIS AllSource, confirm that the version number (for example, 1.0) is correct, and click View Downloads.

Note:

If you have not previously agreed to the terms and conditions of the master agreement, a pop-up appears. After reviewing the terms and conditions, check the check box and click Accept if you want to continue.
Under Download, review the Language setting. To download a localized version of ArcGIS AllSource, change the setting to the applicable language.
In the list of product components, under Files, next to ArcGIS AllSource, click Download.

An executable file (.exe) is downloaded to your computer.

Install ArcGIS AllSource

You must install ArcGIS AllSource before installing optional components.

Browse to the location where you copied or downloaded ArcGIS AllSource and double-click the .exe file to start the installation process.
Accept the destination folder to which files are extracted or click Browse to browse to a different folder.

The default destination folder is <System Drive>\Users\<username>\Documents\ArcGIS AllSource <version>.
Click Next.

A message appears when the files have been successfully extracted, and the Launch the setup program check box is checked by default.

Note:

To install the software later, uncheck the Launch the setup program check box. When you're ready to install, browse to the destination folder and double-click ArcGISAllSource.msi.
Click Close.
In the Welcome to the ArcGIS AllSource Setup program window, click Next.
Review the license agreement and choose an option:
- If you agree to the terms, click the option to accept the agreement and click Next.
- If you do not agree to the terms, click Cancel to close the installation window.
Choose an installation context option:
- Click Anyone who uses this computer (the default) for a per-machine installation.
- Click Only for me for a per-user installation.
Note:

You must have administrative privileges to make a per-machine installation.
Click Next.
Accept the default or choose which features you want to install
- To install all AI model features, click the AI Models drop-down arrow and click This feature, and all subfeatures, will be installed on local hard drive.
- To install a particular AI model feature, click its drop-down arrow and click This feature will be installed on local hard drive.

Semantic Search is installed by default for new installations of ArcGIS AllSource. If you are upgrading a machine that already has ArcGIS AllSource installed, the setting from the previous installation is used. Other AI models are not installed by default. None of the AI models use generative AI.

If you decide to install additional AI model features later, you can do so by modifying the setup.

Note:

To hide the AI Models feature on the Select Features panel, create a DWORD value named BlockAIModelInstall under the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\ArcGISAllSource\Settings, and set it to 1. This will prevent the AI Models feature from being installed for both per-machine and per-user installations on the machine.

Install ArcGIS AllSource from the command line

System administrators or IT support staff managing the ArcGIS AllSource installation may not want to use the installation UI or may be required to use a script to install the application. The following information will help you install ArcGIS AllSource from the command line.

The following is a typical silent installation of ArcGIS AllSource using the command line in a per-machine context:

msiexec.exe /i <setup staging location>\ArcGISAllSource.msi ALLUSERS=1 INSTALLDIR="C:\MyArcGISAllSource\" ACCEPTEULA=YES /qb

Note:

The /qb switch provides the basic UI of the progress status and error handling, /qr provides a reduced UI, and /qn provides no UI. For details, refer to Command-Line Options in the Microsoft documentation.

Note:

When defining PORTAL_LIST, surround the specified value or values with double quotation marks, for example, PORTAL_LIST="https://maps.myarcgis.com;https://www.arcgis.com".

The following are the command line parameters that can be used when running ArcGISAllSource.msi. Use these with the MSI command line options as needed. The parameter names are case sensitive and should be used as defined below. The parameter values, however, are not case sensitive except where noted.

ArcGIS AllSource installation command line parameters

The parameters described below can be provided to install using the command line.

INSTALLDIR

This is the ArcGIS AllSource installation location. If not specified, the installation location is %System Drive%\Program Files\ArcGIS\AllSource for a per-machine installation, and %System Drive%\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\ArcGIS\AllSource for a per-user instance (see the ALLUSERS parameter).

ALLUSERS

This defines the installation context of the ArcGIS AllSource setup, in which ALLUSERS=1 is a per-machine installation and ALLUSERS=2 is a per-user instance. If this parameter is not specified, the default is per user.

If a user without administrative privileges attempts to set ALLUSERS=1, the installation fails.

ENABLEEUEI

Specify whether to enable participation in the Esri User Experience Improvement program. The default value is 1, which enables participation. To opt out of participation, specify ENABLEEUEI=0.

ENABLE_ERROR_REPORTS

Specifies whether error reports (crash dumps) will be sent to Esri. The default value is 1, which enables sending error reports. To opt out, specify ENABLE_ERROR_REPORTS=0.

ACCEPTEULA

This parameter is required to accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) during a silent installation. Specify ACCEPTEULA=YES to agree to the EULA and install the software. The software will not install if you specify NO or omit this parameter.

ADDLOCAL

This parameter is used to install the optional features included in the ArcGIS AllSource setup.

To enable the Create Locator feature, use ADDLOCAL=CreateLocator.
To enable the Semantic Search feature for geoprocessing tools, use ADDLOCAL=SemanticSearch.
To enable the Tool Suggestions feature for geoprocessing tools, use ADDLOCAL=ToolSuggestions
To enable all three AI Model features, use ADDLOCAL=ALL.

Multiple features can be enabled by separating the feature names with a comma, for example, ADDLOCAL=SemanticSearch,ToolSuggestions. ECW, which installs the Enhanced Compression Wavelet (ECW) Raster Format driver files; and SemanticSearch are enabled by default.

BLOCKADDINS

If specified, the BlockAddins registry value allows system administrators to configure the types of add-ins that ArcGIS AllSource will load. It is created under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\ArcGISAllSource\Settings.

This parameter is only read during a per-machine installation; it is ignored if specified for a per-user setup.

Setting BLOCKADDINS=0 loads all add-ins, regardless of whether they have digital signatures. Setting it to 1 only loads add-ins that are digitally signed by a trusted certificate authority; 2 only loads add-ins that have been published by Esri; 3 only loads add-ins from the administrator folders and those published by Esri; 4 does not load or run add-ins; and 5 only loads add-ins from the administrator folders. The default is 0.

CHECKFORUPDATESATSTARTUP

For per-machine installations only, set this parameter to 0 to disable update notifications for ArcGIS AllSource. If a value is not specified, the default is 1 and update notifications will be received. Note that this refers only to notifications for an available update; the application update itself does not happen automatically.

ADMIN_SETTINGS_PATH

ArcGIS AllSource allows administrators to set default values for a select number of application settings in a .settingsConfig file. For per-machine installations only, set this parameter to the location where the .settingsConfig file resides. For more information, see Manage application settings.

AUTHORIZATION_TYPE

Use SINGLE_USE to install ArcGIS AllSource as a Single Use seat, and use NAMED_USER for a Named User license.

ARCGIS_CONNECTION

This parameter specifies whether a connection to www.arcgis.com is available from the ArcGIS AllSource Portals page. To include the connection, set this parameter to TRUE. If set to FALSE, the connection does not appear on the Portals page.

PORTAL_LIST

To add one or more portal connections to the Portals page, set PORTAL_LIST="<portalURL1>;<portalURL2>". Use semicolons to separate portal URLs.

If ARCGIS_CONNECTION is set to FALSE, this parameter cannot contain arcgis.com.

Note:

If your portal supports HTTPS, it is recommended that the PORTAL_LIST URLs use HTTPS.

DISABLE_EXTERNAL_TRAFFIC

Set DISABLE_EXTERNAL_TRAFFIC=TRUE to prevent ArcGIS AllSource from sending requests to arcgis.com and arcgisonline.com. This setting is useful in secure or offline environments where external communication is restricted. If this parameter is not specified, the default is FALSE.

Uninstall ArcGIS AllSource
