How to install an ArcGIS Image Server client application

The final step to create a client application is the deployment of your application. A developer needs to include the ClientCore.msi with their application, which is available in ArcGIS Image Server installation DVD. The ClientCore.msi contains the components required for the minimum working of the ArcGIS Image Server client application.

For applications written in the .NET environment, the ESRI.ImageServer.ISClient.dll is required. This file is not included in the ClientCore.msi and has to be added to the client install separately.

Before installing the ClientCore.msi check if the target machine has ArcGIS Image Server already installed. This can be done by checking the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\Image Server\Home.

If  ArcGIS Image Server is installed, then make sure that your component is compatible with this version. This can be done by checking the version number available in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\Image Server\ClientVersion.
