Installing SAP jConnect in GUI Mode

Instructions to install for SAP jConnect in GUI Mode.

Note: The setup program is located in the Disk1/InstData directory on the SAP jConnect CD. Change to this location or add the directory to the installation command.

Prerequisite

For Microsoft Windows, ensure that your login ID has administrative privileges. For UNIX, ensure that your login ID has write-access to the install directory.

Start the installer.
- For Microsoft Windows: If you are installing from the CD, the installer should start automatically. If it does not, or if you are installing from a downloaded file, select Start > Run, and enter:
```
x:\path\setup.exe
```
  where setup.exe is the executable file that installs SAP jConnect, and x:\path\ is the path to setup.exe.
- For IBM AIX, Linux, and Solaris:
```
cd /cdrom/cdromn/pathname
./setup.bin
```
- For HP HP-UX:
```
cd /cdrom/pathname
./setup.bin
```
  where cdrom/cdromn is the directory (mount-point) you specified when mounting the CD drive. For example, on Solaris the mount-point can be cdrom/cdrom0 and setup.bin is the executable file that installs jConnect.
If JDK_or_JRE_installation_directory/bin is not defined in the PATH environment variable, call setup.exe (Microsoft Windows) or setup.bin (UNIX platforms) using the LAX_VM java_binary_path argument. For example:
- UNIX platforms:
```
./setup.bin LAX_VM /work/jre6/bin/java
```
- Microsoft Windows:
```
.\setup.exe LAX_VM “C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_06\bin\java.exe”
```
