Installing the IDE (Microsoft Windows Systems)

This chapter describes how to install the IDE from files downloaded from the web.

The IDE installer installs the J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.1 as the default device emulator. Optionally, you can also install the J2ME Wireless Toolkit 1.0.4 and J2ME Wireless Connection Wizard module. You can install the IDE in two ways:

Using the GUI Installer

You can install the IDE by downloading the jstudio_M04q3-win-en.exe installer launcher fromhttp://www.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsmobility/.

Note - If you encounter errors at any point during the installation, refer to Chapter 11 for troubleshooting tips.

To Install the IDE

To start the install from web download, follow these steps:

a. Log in to your system with administrator privileges.

b. Download the jstudio_M04q3-win-en.exe installer file from http://www.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsmobility/ and save it. (The directory you download it to will be referred to here as jstudio-download-directory.)

The installer asks a series of questions, installs the product, then displays the final Summary page.

When prompted for the license serial number you have two options:

Enter a permanent license serial number.

Generate a 60-day trial license serial number by using the 60 Day Trial button.
