The eSuite DevPack Preview Install program, eSuiteDPP.exe, is a self-extracting zip file that creates all the directories and files you need to use eSuite DevPack Preview. The download area also includes a zipped installation program for UNIX systems (eSuiteDPP.zip). If you use the ZIP file, extract the files using the folder names (also known as path names) stored in the archive. This will create the proper directory structure.
The self-extracting zip and exe files create a subdirectory called eSuiteDPP that contains all the DevPack Preview files. These files include the eSuite applet files, documentation, sample programs, and the Template Builder.
Note: To use DevPack on a server, you must have HTTP software installed.
