Install the application on another computer

Note

You can install the application on a client computer from the Web page http://hostname/acmeupdate/publish.htm, where hostname is the name of the development computer. The client computer must have access to the development computer.

  1. On the client computer, create an ODBC system DSN called EAS Demo DB V125 that connects to the easdemodb120.db on a server.

  2. Open Internet Explorer and navigate to the publish page for the application (http://hostname/acmeupdate/publish.htm, where hostname is the name of the development computer).

  3. Click Install and click the Run buttons in the windows that display, as you did in the previous exercise.

  4. Click the Install button on the Acme Update Installation dialog box.

    The Sybase PowerBuilder .NET Runtime and Acme Update application are installed on your computer. Follow the prompts in the dialog boxes that display and close the Acme Update Installation dialog box when the installation is complete and the application opens.

  5. Enter dba as the value for the user ID and sql as the password.

  6. Test the application to make sure it runs correctly.

  7. Right-click the Acme Update notifier icon and try each of the enabled menu items.

    If you select Check for Updates, a pop-up window displays that indicates no updates are available. Next, you make a minor change in the application to test intelligent update.
