You install the client software by starting with a VMSINSTAL command
on an OpenVMS system. This places on the OpenVMS system the client
software in the form of self-extracting archive files. The next steps depend
on your target desktop platform.
The use of the Software Products Library CD and VMSINSTAL is described in
Chapter 2.
The procedure for installing the client software and the accompanying sample
client application files consists of the following general steps (described in
Chapter 3):
1. Transfer from your OpenVMS system to your target desktop system a file
or files created when you run VMSINSTAL. You use a file transfer program
such as FTP.
If your target desktop is an OpenVMS system, all the files are in place in a
public systemwide directory (see Section 3.2).
2. On the target desktop system, expand the file that you transferred from
the OpenVMS system.
• If your target desktop is a Windows system, expand the self-extracting
archive file as explained in Section 3.2.2.1.
• If your target desktop is a Tru64 UNIX system, expand the self-
extracting archive file as explained in Section 3.2.2.2.
After you deploy the files on the target desktop system, the procedures
to continue the installation and perform setup operations are the same
as those for the TPware Product Suite CD medium. The documentation
provides pointers to the relevant procedures in Part II.
3. Run the sample application to verify that the installation functions
properly.
