Client: Pre-Installation for Windows

`32 MB of memory.

`Database vendor’s client and network software installed if you are using a database other than JDB. For more information, consult the database-specific release notes online.

`To use Java files, you must have either JDK 1.1 (Java Development Kit) or the JRE (Java Runtime Environment), or compatible versions, installed. To compile Java programs, the JDK is required. If you are using Microsoft’s Virtual Machine for Java, use version 5.00.3167 (1/25/99) or later.

`If you are going to add your own C functions to Prolifics, install the Microsoft Visual C (MSVC) compiler (version 6 for Windows 95/98 and NT 4). You also need to install the MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class) portion of MSVC along with the compiler.

If you are installing a Prolifics client and web application server on the same Windows NT machine, you must install them in the same directory. This allows them to share common environment settings that point to the location of required files. It also saves disk space.

Upgrading

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Prolifics, install Panther in a separate directory from previous installations, for example, C:\Panther.

The setup program unsets any existing SMVARS, SMPATH, SMTERM, SMMSGS, SMKEY, and SMVIDEO settings in your autoexec.bat file. The setup program lets you choose from the following three options:

`Let the setup program modify the autoexec.bat file. The existing autoexec.bat is saved to autoexec.xxx where xxx is a three-number extension.

`Save the required changes to autoexec.new file.

`Not make any changes for the autoexec.bat file.

After successfully installing Prolifics software, there are several post-installation steps required to start using Prolifics. This chapter discusses licensing, building Prolifics executables, the steps required to set up the environment for each of the Prolifics components installed, and post-installation issues and troubleshooting tips.
