    Installation instructions for VAGen for Java on Windows NT

    The self extracting executable that contains the fixes for VA Generator for Java on Windows NT is called java.exe.

  • Install VA Java V3.0
  • Install VA Generator V4.0 but DO NOT load any generator or template features.
  • Start the self extracting executable (by double clicking on it). It will prompt you for what directory to extract into. The directory you specify must be the directory you installed VA Java into, for example c:\ibmjava. Wait for the extract to be completed.
  • If you are using VAGTemplates Customizer then you must now reinstall it
  • Start VAGen and load the VAGen40 Developer feature
  • Load any other VAGen or template features you wish
  • If you have work in progress that you versioned then you should now reload this work into the new java workspace

    EZERDEVNLS Environment Variable

    If you're using the Japanese or Brazilian Portuguese version of VAGen Developer, you must set this variable.

    With this fixtest a new environment variable is being used to determine which national language has been installed for the VAGen Developer product.  The use of this environment variable will correct a problem where English help is not displayed when VAGen is installed on a non-American English machine (e.g. British, German).  The new environment variable is EZERDEVNLS and it will be set to a single character ('e', 'j', or 'p') indicating the installed language.  If the variable is not set, it defaults to English.

    With FixPak 1, the installation utility will set this environment variable.  For this hotfix, if you have installed the Japanese or Brazilian Portuguese version of VAGen Developer, you will need to set this environment variable before starting the product in order for the online help to be invoked correctly.  If you have installed English, the variable does not need to be set.
