Installation Guide
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:
- The TCP hostname or the IP address (dotted decimal address) of the server
where the library manager is installed.
- The absolute path for the library manager on the server machine.
The drive letter must be the drive letter on the server machine,
not the mapped drive letter for the server machine.
To install a VisualAge Smalltalk Client do the following:
- Begin installation based on your operating systems installation start-up
instructions. For more information, see Installing VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Version 5.5.2 on Windows and OS/2.
- Note:
- For late breaking information, click on the Readme push
button.
- Read the License Agreement. If you agree to the terms and
conditions, select Accept. Otherwise, select
Decline and exit the installation program.
- On the Select Features window, if you have previously installed VisualAge
Smalltalk Enterprise Version 5.5 or 5.5.1 Client, next to
the Version 5.5/5.5.1 features that were previously
installed you will see a + and a number that indicates the
approximate size difference of the feature in VisualAge Smalltalk Version
5.5.2. 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.
- If neither VisualAge Smalltalk Client 5.5 or 5.5.1
was previously installed, 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.
- Click Next to continue
- If neither VisualAge Smalltalk Client 5.5 or 5.5.1
was previously installed, 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:
- Specify the location of the server where the library manager is installed,
either by specifying the hostname or IP address for the server.
- 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.
- Select Next.
- If you have previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Client 5.5 or
5.5.1, ensure that you are using the same Program Folder
name. If neither VisualAge Smalltalk Client 5.5 or
5.5.1 was previously installed, choose a Program Folder
name. Select Next.
- Verify the information, then select Next to finish installing
the VisualAge Smalltalk Client.
- When the installation is complete, click Finish to end the
install program or View Readme to view the readme
file.
- Reboot your system.
