Installing ActiveX client support (Windows only)

Complete the following steps to install the ActiveX client to EJB bridge, which enables your ActiveX client to interact with WebSphere EJB servers.

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

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

  2. Insert your Enterprise Edition Server and Client CD into the CD-ROM drive.
  3. At a DOS prompt, change to the installation image directory on the CD-ROM:
    cd cdrom_drive\Windows\EnterpriseEdition\client\Windows
  4. Enter the following command:
    setup
  5. On the Language selection page, select your language, then click Next.
  6. On the Welcome page, click Next.
  7. On the Select components page, select ActiveX to EJB Bridge.

    By default, the ActiveX client samples package (which contains sample code and documentation), is also installed. If you prefer not to install the samples package, click Change. Clear the ActiveX to EJB Bridge Samples option, then click Continue.

  8. Click Next.

    The installation program finds the directory where the Advanced Edition J2EE client 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. All JAR files are copied to the WAS_HOME\lib directory, 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.
