The self extracting executable that contains the fixes for VA Generator
for Smalltalk on Windows NT is called vastnt.exe
Install VA Smalltalk V5.0 (if not already done)
Install VA Generator V4.0 (if not already done)
Load the VAGen feature into the Smalltalk image (if not already done)
Shutdown Smalltalk
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 Smalltalk into, for example c:\program
files\vast
Start Smalltalk
Load the feature titled 'VAGen40 fixtest 1.1'
If you have already loaded either the Templates Quickstart or Templates
Migration feature then you must reload them
Shutdown and restart the Smalltalk image
The self extracting executable that contains the fixes for VA Generator
for Smalltalk on OS/2 is called vastos2.exe
Install VA Smalltalk V5.0 (if not already done)
Install VA Generator V4.0 (if not already done)
Load the VAGen feature into the Smalltalk image (if not already done)
Shutdown Smalltalk
Copy the self extracting executable into the directory that you have installed
Smalltalk into (i.e c:\vast)
Open an OS/2 window, change directory so you are in the directory that
you just copied the exe into
Enter the following command to start the extraction: vastos2 /d /over=all
( the /d option tell the exe to extract into the correct sub directories,
the /over=all options tells the exe to overwrite any existing files without
prompting you for confirmation)
Start Smalltalk
Load the feature titled 'VAGen40 fixtest 1.1'
If you have already loaded either the Templates Quickstart or Templates
Migration feature then you must reload them
Shutdown and restart the Smalltalk image
The self extracting executable that contains the fixes for VA Generator
for Java on Windows NT is called java.exe.
The hotfix for Java requires that you MUST start with an clean Java
workspace (a workspace without any VAGen or Template features loaded)
If you have already installed java and have work in progress you should
version you work and uninstall the java client
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
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.
