Installing CORBA C++ server support on Windows

To install CORBA C++ server support on Windows NT or Windows 2000, complete the following steps:

  1. Install the Advanced Edition Version 4.0 server base, followed by Fixpack 2. This brings your application server up to a Version 4.0.2 level.

    Instructions are provided in the topic Installing the Advanced Edition server base.

  2. Insert the Enterprise Edition Server and Client CD into your CD-ROM drive.
  3. At a DOS prompt, change to the installation image directory:
    cdrom_drive\Windows\EnterpriseEdition
  4. Enter the installation command:
    setup
  5. On the Language selection page, select your language, then click Next.
  6. On the Welcome page, click Next.
  7. On the Setup type page, select Custom, then click Next.
  8. On the Select components page, select CORBA C++ SDK, then click Next.

    The installation program finds the directory where the Advanced Edition server is installed and tells you that Enterprise Edition will be installed under the same directory. This message also tells you that Enterprise Edition will be added to the same Windows program folder. You cannot change the installation directory or program folder.

  9. Click OK.
  10. On the Start copying files page, click Next.

    The installation program copies files to your machine and sets environment variables. All JAR files are copied to WAS_HOME\lib, and all other files are copied to subdirectories under WAS_HOME\Enterprise. A log file named install_en.log is written to WAS_HOME\Enterprise.

  11. On the Setup complete page, click Finish. Review the README file.

To validate that enterprise services were successfully installed on your system, open the product.xml file, located in the following directory:

WAS_HOME\properties\com\ibm\websphere

Your product.xml file should contain an entry similar to the following:

Advanced Edition for Multiplatforms with Enterprise Edition Services
There should also be an entry for each of the enterprise services you installed.
