- 1.0 Introduction
-
- Welcome to the IBM VisualAge for Java Version 1.0 Entry Edition.
-
- This is an unsupported trial version of the product which contains an
- Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with a Visual Composition Editor
- to help programmers rapidly create graphical Java applets and applications.
-
- Before installing this product we recommend you read this file in its
- entirety.
-
- To install the product:
- - Uninstall any Beta versions of the product from the system.
- - Unzip the wEnty100.zip (preserving the directory structure when unzipping)
- into a temporary directory.
- - Invoke the 'setup.exe' file from the 'setup' subdirectory and follow the
- instructions to install.
- - Once you have completed installation read the release notes by clicking the
- 'Release Notes' icon in the IBM VisualAge for Java product folder.
-
- There are two product versions of IBM VisualAge for Java should you wish
- to purchase either of them.
-
- - VisualAge for Java Professional contains the same function as this trial
- Edition but there is no limit on the number of classes that can be created
- and online documentation is provided.
-
- - VisualAge for Java Enterprise contains the same function as the Professional
- Edition with the addition of Enterprise Access Builders which enable you to
- generate and develop JavaBeans components that establish connections between
- the Java client and IBM CICS Transaction Servers, application servers, and data
- servers.

- 2.0 Prerequisites
-
- VisualAge for Java Version 1.0 Entry Edition requires the following software
- and hardware for development with the IDE:
-
- - Windows 95 (or higher) or Windows NT 4.0 (or higher)
- - An 'unzip' tool
- - Pentium(R) processor or higher recommended
- - SVGA (800x600) display or higher
- - 32 MB RAM minimum (48 MB recommended)
- - Frames-capable Web Browser to view HTML Help files on the Web
-
-
- 3.0 Installation Problems
-
- The following is a list of items that you should be aware of during
- install:
-
- - If installing to a very large FAT drive then the required space is
- almost doubled (due to 32KB cluster overhead).
-
- - Do not install to an HPFS network or local drive (since
- Windows 95 and NT4.0 have trouble handling long file names on
- such a drive).
-
- - If you are installing from a Web downloaded image then be sure
- to create a "tmp" directory on a FAT or NTFS drive (not HPFS) and
- unzip the web image to yield the actual install programs ("setup.exe"
- will not run from an HPFS drive with a long file name in its directory).
-
- - In addition to the space required for the product, you must have
- at least 2MB free on your Windows system drive, and you
- must have your environment variable TEMP or TMP pointing to a
- valid temporary directory with at least 5MB free. This also
- applies to the UnInstall program.
-
- - Windows 95 has an AUTOEXEC.BAT path restriction of 255 characters.
- If your current path is greater than 200 characters then you should
- remove entries from it prior to installing.
-
- - Windows NT4.0 has a registry path restriction of 511 characters.
- If your current path is greater than 450 characters then you should
- remove entries from it prior to installing.
-
- - If you have an install problem, please delete all the files located
- in the root install tree which by default is C:\IBMVJava. You will
- also need to delete the registry
- \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\VisualAge for Java for Windows
- entry by using the following instructions:
- 1) Make sure you have an Emergency Recovery Disk. Instructions for
- creating this are available in the Windows operating system
- documentation.
- 2) Invoke "regedit.exe" from a command prompt.
- 3) Expand and select the key
- \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\VisualAge for Java for Windows
- 4) Select Edit->Delete from the menu bar pulldown for this key.
- 5) Select the YES pushbutton when asked to confirm deletion of the key.
- 6) Select Registry->Exit from the menu bar pulldown.
-
- - If you get a message that indicates that the install has detected a
- "Shell Extension" for Windows NT, the install will not be able to
- proceed and will terminate. In order to get VisualAge for Java installed,
- you should perform the following tasks:
- 1) Make sure you have an Emergency Recovery Disk. Instructions for
- creating this are available in the Windows operating system
- documentation.
- 2) Invoke "regedit.exe" from a command prompt.
- 3) Expand the key
- \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- 4) Select the SHELL name in the name/data pairs for the above key.
- 5) MAKE A NOTE OF THE 'DATA' RECORDED FOR THIS 'NAME' AS YOU WILL NEED IT AFTER
- INSTALLING IBM VISUALAGE FOR JAVA.
- 6) Select Edit->Modify from the menu bar pulldown for the SHELL name/data pair.
- 7) Set the value for the SHELL name to Explorer.exe, and then select the OK
- pushbutton.
- 8) Select Registry->Exit from the menu bar pulldown.
- 9) Restart and complete IBM VisualAge for Java installation.
- 10) Once installation is complete restore the previous registry entry as follows:
- - Invoke "regedit.exe" from a command prompt.
- - Expand the key
- \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- - Select the SHELL name in the name/data pairs for the above key.
- - Select Edit->Modify from the menu bar pulldown for the SHELL name/data pair.
- - Restore the value for the SHELL name to the value that was recorded in Step (5),
- and then select the OK pushbutton.
- - Select Registry->Exit from the menu bar pulldown.
