You can install Reality Studio using the command line. From there, you can install also related products or uninstall software.

Install Reality Studio silently using command line parameters

The installation of Reality Studio requires the Reality Studio installer (.msi) and a valid authorization file (.pvrc).

Perform a typical silent installation of Reality Studio

You can use the following command to perform a typical installation of Reality Studio. Replace <setup staging location> with the directory where the Reality Studio installer is located.

msiexec.exe /i <setup_staging_location>\ArcGISRealityStudio.msi> ALLUSERS=1 INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\RealityStudio" ACCEPTEULA=YES AUTHORIZATION_TYPE=SINGLE_USE /qb

To authorize Reality Studio, run the following command. Ensure that you replace <location_of_prvc> with the path to the Single Use license file (.pvrc).

"C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\RealityStudio\bin\SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe" /LIF "<location_of_prvc>" /s

Command line parameters

The following command line parameters can be used when running the installation of Reality Studio. They can be appended to the following base command as required.

msiexec.exe /i <setup_staging_location>\ArcGISRealityStudio.msi>

ACCEPTEULA

Using this parameter, you can accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). To perform the installation, it is required to set ACCEPTEULA=YES.

ALLUSERS

This parameter defines whether Reality Studio will be installed for all users on the machine (ALLUSERS=1) or for the current user only (ALLUSERS=2). The default is per-user installation.

AUTHORIZATION_TYPE

You can use this parameter to specify the authorization type. Reality Studio can only be used with a single-use license and requires setting AUTHORIZATION_TYPE=SINGLE_USE.

ENABLE_ERROR_REPORTS

Specify to send error reports to Esri. This setting is enabled by default. To not send error reports, set ENABLE_ERROR_REPORTS=0.

ENABLEEUEI

By setting this parameter, you can choose to contribute to the Esri User Experience Improvement program. This is enabled by default. To opt out, set ENABLEEUEI=0.

INSTALLDIR

Specify where to install Reality Studio. The default directory for machine-wide installation is %System Drive%\Program Files\ArcGIS\RealityStudio. For per-user installation, it is %System Drive%\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\ArcGIS\RealityStudio.

Optional further installations

See the following for more installations.

ArcGIS licensing service

The ArcGIS licensing service (SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe) is only installed with Reality Studio for per-machine installations. For per-user installations, you can use the following command to install it:

msiexec.exe /i <ArcGIS_Reality_Studio_installation_directory>\Resources\ArcGIS Licensing Service\ArcGISLS.msi /qb

Coordinate System Data

The installation of Coordinate System Data requires the Coordinate System Data installation file. This can be obtained from My Esri and needs to be extracted to the machine where Reality Studio is installed.

You can run the installation with the following command:

msiexec.exe /i "<Coordinates_System_Data_Directory>\SetupFiles\CSD.msi" ACCEPTEULA=1 /qb

Raster Data

To install Raster Data, the Raster Data installation file is needed. You can retrieve it from My Esri and extract it to the machine where Reality Studio is installed.

The installation can be performed with the following command:

msiexec.exe /i "<Raster_Data_Directory>\SetupFiles\RasterData.msi" ACCEPTEULA=1 /qb

Uninstall the ArcGIS Pro products silently

To uninstall a product, use the following command:

msiexec.exe /x {product code} /qb

The product code can be found in the Windows Registry Editor at the following path:

  • For per-machine installation, use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Esri.

  • For per-user installation, use HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Esri.
