Installing Your JADE Software

The JADE software is supplied on the JADE release medium or from the JADE Web site. Install your JADE software from the setup executable program file contained on the release medium or from the JADE Web site.

If you want to develop your own installation process for Windows, the JADE install and upgrade steps are documented in the ReadmeInstallSteps.pdf file in the \documentation directory.

Installing any Microsoft redistributable package requires administration privileges.

The 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (x64) called vc_red.msi or the 32‑bit Microsoft C++ 2013 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) called vc_red.msi is required on all Windows systems that run JADE 7.1.

Click the Next > button when you have specified the required information in each JADE set-up folder. The folder for the next phase of the installation process is then displayed, if applicable. Use the < Back button to return to earlier set-up folders. To abandon the JADE installation, click the Cancel button in the current set‑up folder.

For details about the customization mechanism that enables you to customize the installation of JADE presentation client software, see "Customizing the Presentation Client Installer" under "Installing Application Servers and Presentation Clients", in Chapter 3 of the JADE Thin Client Guide. For details about customizing the upgrading of deployed JADE systems, see Appendix A of the JADE Runtime Application Guide, "Customizing the Deployment Upgrade Process".

For details about upgrading JADE release 6.3 databases, see "Upgrading to JADE 7.1 from JADE 6.3 or Higher", in the ReleaseInfo.pdf file on your JADE release medium. (You can upgrade to JADE release 7.1 only from a JADE 6.3 release.)

Product information and example files are not part of the installation and must be downloaded and installed from the JADE Web site or the release medium separately, if required, into the documentation folder and examples folder, respectively, of your JADE installation directory.
