Legacy:

ArcGIS Web Adaptor 10.4.x supported Java 7.x and 8.x. ArcGIS Web Adaptor 10.5.x and 10.6.x support only Java 8.x. ArcGIS Web Adaptor 10.7.x supported Java 8.x and 12.x.

Maximum installation instances

You can install a maximum of 21 instances of ArcGIS Web Adaptor (IIS) on a single machine. If more instances are required, install them on a separate machine.

If you have earlier versions installed on the machine, you are not required to uninstall them. For example, you can have 5 instances of ArcGIS Web Adaptor 10.4 and 21 instances of ArcGIS Web Adaptor 10.8.1 installed on the same machine. The maximum value only applies to instances of the same software version.

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 support

ArcGIS Web Adaptor (IIS) requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later to be installed. If your operating system includes Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, make sure it's enabled using Windows Features. If your operating system does not include Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, you can download it from the installation media and enable it using Windows Features.

Microsoft IIS required components

ArcGIS Web Adaptor (IIS) supports IIS in Windows 8.1, 10, Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019 Standard/DataCenter. This corresponds to IIS versions 8.0, 8.5, and 10. IIS must be enabled along with specific IIS 8.0, 8.5, and 10 components. The setup will not proceed if IIS is not detected and specific IIS components enabled.

If you already have IIS 8.0, 8.5, or 10 installed but are missing required IIS components, the setup will display the IIS requirements verification dialog box. This gives you the option to allow the installation to automatically enable any missing required IIS components. To do this, click I agree. To learn more, see the Automatically enabling IIS components section.

Note:

If you're going to perform a silent installation of ArcGIS Web Adaptor, all required IIS components must be enabled manually. The setup will not automatically enable missing IIS components when you're performing a silent installation.

To learn how to enable IIS on your operating system and optionally enable the missing IIS 8.0, 8.5, or 10 components on your own, see the following topics:

Additional notice will be provided prior to the removal of support.
