Installing a team development client

Before installing a VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Client for team development, you need to know some information about where the library manager is installed. EMSRV is used to connect to the library manager which is installed on a network server for team development. The EMSRV environment is set up during the install for the VisualAge Smalltalk Client. The library administrator should provide the following information about the VisualAge Smalltalk library manager:

To install a VisualAge Smalltalk Client do the following:

  1. Begin installation based on your operating systems installation start-up instructions. For more information see: Installing VisualAge on Windows and OS/2.
    Note:For late breaking information, click on the Readme push button.
  2. Read the License Agreement. If you agree to the terms and conditions, select Accept. Otherwise, select Decline and exit the installation program.
  3. On the Select Features window, if you have previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Version 5.5 Client, next to the Version 5.5 features that were previously installed you will see a + and a number that indicates the approximate size difference of the feature in VisualAge Smaltalk Version 5.5.1.
  4. On the Select Features window check off the features you wish to install by clicking the box next to the feature(s). You should not install features that you didn't also select when installing the Library Manager.
    Note:The VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Client represents the base code necessary to run the client.
  5. If you have NOT previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Client 5.5, check to make certain that the destination folder is correct. If you wish to change the default, click the Browse push button and change the location by either clicking on a new folder or directly typing the directory in the entry field. Click OK.
  6. Click Next to continue
  7. If you have NOT previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Client 5.5, select EMSRV as the Library Access Method by which you will connect to the Library Manager. Select Next to continue. On the EMSRV client parameters window, do the following:
    1. Specify the location of the server where the library manager is installed, either by specifying the hostname or IP address for the server.
    2. Specify the fully qualified path on the server where the library manager is installed.

      For example, if the manager is installed on a machine named vastmgr in the directory f:\vastv55\manager\mgr55.dat. Even if you have vastmgr mapped as M:on your computer, you would specify f:\vastv55\manager\mgr55.dat as the path on the server where the library manager is installed.

      Note:If you are using a shared library that resides on a network server, this path should be provided to you by your library administrator.
    3. Select Next.
  8. If you have previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Client 5.5, ensure that you are using the same Program Folder name. If you have NOT previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Client 5.5, choose a Program Folder name. Select Next.
  9. Verify the information, then select Next to finish installing the VisualAge Smalltalk Client.
  10. When the installation is complete, click Finish to end the install program or View Readme to view the readme file.
