Prerequisites

Setup should be performed with super user priviledges because Jalopy may need to create directories below certain application folders that are usually not accessible as normal user.

If you choose to install any of the provided Plug-ins, you must close any running target application(s) prior to the installation. Otherwise setup may fail because necessary files cannot be installed or obsolete files cannot be removed!

Download Online Help

During installation you will be asked whether you want to download and install the online help for the preferences dialog. If you're installing on a machine without Internet access, you can download the help file separately from "http://www.triemax.com/download/jalopy-help-Help.jar" and either place it along the directory where the installer sits - it will then be picked up and installed automatically by the installer. Or copy the file into the Jalopy settings directory, e.g. on a typcial Windows XP system to "C:\Documents and Settings\John Doo\.jalopy\Help\jalopy-help-Help.jar". You can find more information about the Jalopy settings directory in the section called "Overview".

The setup wizard will install the online help always into the Jalopy settings direcory as described above. But if you're doing a manual installation because you want the software to be available for all your developers without requiring them to do any extra installation work on their client machines, you can place the file into the same directory where the binaries have been installed, e.g. if the software was installed into "C:\Program Files\jalopy", the binaries can be found in "C:\Program Files\jalopy\lib". Just copy the help file into this directory and it will be available to all users of the binary.
