Install Arc with Microsoft Software Installer (MSI)

You can manually deploy Arc to run in Service mode.

Procedure

  1. Double-click the ZIP file to extract these files:
  2. To install Arc, choose from one of these options:
    • Double-click the MSI file
    • Run the .bat
    Note:
    The .bat will pre-fill the MSI with the parameters that you have set in the Configuration page.
    Note:

    When you try to install Arc on a Windows machine that does not have OpenGL, the installation will fail. When this happens, this error message will show:

    There is a problem with this Windows Installer package...

    If this happens, do step 3 below.

  3. If you received the error message above, in a PowerShell, enter these commands: 
    $global:ProgressPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
                        
$params = '/i', 'arc.windows.amd64.msi', '/QN', '/L*v', 'installer.log', 'ARGS="--mode=silent --acceptLicense=true --endpoint=test.endpoint --token=test.token --rebootIfRequired=false"'
                        
Start-Process 'msiexec.exe' -ArgumentList $params -NoNewWindow -Wait -PassThru
  4. Wait for the User Account Control dialog to show.
  5. Select Yes.
    The Arc setup wizard shows.
  6. Follow the steps in the wizard.

Results

The installer:
  • Starts a new installation process if Arc is not installed, or if a previous version is detected
  • Starts a modify installation process, if the same version of Arc is detected
