Installing the IDE
(Microsoft Windows Systems)

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

The IDE installer installs Sun ONE Application Server 7, Standard Edition as the default application server. The application server installation includes the PointBase Server 4.2 Restricted Edition(PointBase) as part of the standard installation. If you already have the Sun ONE Application Server 7 installed on your system, a second copy is not installed.

You can install the IDE in two ways:

See To Install the IDE

See Using Command-line Options During Installation

Using the GUI Installer

You can install the IDE by using the product CD-ROM or by downloading the s1s5se-win-en.exe installer launcher from http://www.sun.com/software/sundev/jde/buy/index.html.

Note - If you encounter errors at any point during the installation, refer to Chapter 12 for troubleshooting tips.

To Install the IDE

1. Verify that you have at least the J2SE, version 1.4.1_02 platform installed on your system and that you have reviewed the space requirements.

See Chapter 1 for details.

2. Start the Installation.

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

a. Log in to your system with administrator privileges.

b. Download the s1s5se-win-en.exe installer file from http://www.sun.com/software/sundev/jde/buy/index.html and save it in the s1studio-download-directory.

c. Double-click the s1s5se-win-en.exe file in the s1studio-download-directory.

The Welcome screen appears.

d. Proceed to Step 3.

To start the install from the CD-ROM, follow these steps:

a. Log on to your system with administrator privileges.

b. Insert the product CD.

The installer starts and the Welcome page appears. Go to Step 3.

If the installer does not start, the autorun feature might be disabled. Follow these steps to start the installer:

i. From the Start Menu, choose Run, and browse to the CD-ROM directory.

ii. Double-click the directory installers_se, select
s1s5se-win-en.exe and click Open.

iii. Click OK in the Run dialog box.

The installer starts and the Welcome page appears. Go to Step 3.

3. On the Welcome page, click Next and follow the installer instructions.

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:

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

Use the license serial number listed on a card enclosed in the purchased product package. If you purchase the product online, then the serial number is provided to you at the time of purchase and download.

4. Review the Summary page.

Sun ONE Application Server properties are displayed:

Admin Server Host: localhost

Admin Server Port: 4848

Admin User Name: admin

Admin User Password: adminadmin

5. Write down and save the Admin User password.

You need this password to use the Sun ONE Application Server administrative tool. The other properties can be viewed from within the IDE, by looking at the Sun ONE Application Server property sheet.

6. Click Finish to exit the installer.

The default installation directory is %Drive%\Sun\studio5_se.

7. Review the log file found at s1studio-install-directory\install.log.

You might see the following message:

WARNING - Installation of the SNMP subagent failed

The warning is issued because the Microsoft Windows SNMP Service is not installed on your system. This will not affect the functionality of the IDE. If you have the SNMP service installed, you should not see this warning.

8. Continue to Chapter 5 for information about setting up the IDE.

Note - If you plan to use Sun ONE Application Server 7, read Chapter 6 before attempting to deploy your applications.

Using Command-line Options During Installation

Command-line options for installing in silent mode are supported by the IDE installers. The procedure depends on whether you are installing from files on the CD-ROM or files downloaded from the web site. Some command-line options can be used with the GUI installer.

See Appendix D for details on using the command-line options and for installing in silent mode.
