ArcGIS Pro is dependent on other applications that must be installed prior to installation. They provide supporting services that ArcGIS Pro relies on to function. These supporting applications include the following:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 or later
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 or above
- ArcGIS Online organizational account or ArcGIS Enterprise Portal – this is required if using Named User licensing
Although these are required for ArcGIS Pro to run successfully, the actual ArcGIS Pro install routine does not verify or check for these. It will install without them and indicate that the installation was successful. However, when you run the application, you will begin to experience problems. This might include the application not starting, the inability to access a license, frequent crashes, and more.
ArcGIS Pro does not require ArcGIS Desktop in order to be installed...
