How to install

Hello,

I have dowloaded the Servoy installer and Java SDK, un zipped both, installed java SDk, but thats as far as I got, Then what do I do. I don’t see any clickable icons saying istall or such in the srvoy installer. What am I missing here.

Any help?

You don’t (need to) unzip the java installer. It is a jar that can be executed. So just doubleclick the jar…

On some system the .jar file is incorrectly opened by unzip/winzip, make sure to open the .jar file with javaw.

No Joy,

I tried the double clicking, it just goes to unzip.

I tried to open using Java Web, it says can not open the selected file.

I’ve already downloaded the Servoy installer twice to ensure correct file, but no joy. :(

regards
Salman

Looks like winzip stole your jar files! Try installing a fresh Java Runtime from java.sun.com
Download JDk 1.5 and you’ll be fine:

here is what I got when I choose to run the installer from the web instead of downlosading it. it all sounds jibrish to me. and what is intersting is the dowloading files on the servoy server have .zip at the end of the name (i.e servoy_installer.zip) I dono :(

Where are you download servoy from?

from http:www.Servoy.com then click on dowload developer which is advertized on the site.

If you download servoy from this page you should get servoy_installer.jar and not .zip: .zip doesn’t even exist.

Which version of Java are you running on your machine?

Jan,

I experienced this as well when I did an install on a Windows Server 2003 machine.
IE downloaded the installer as a .zip.
Very odd.

I resolved it by simply rename the .zip to .jar.

Just a me too: I’ve had the same problem once (the servoy installer being .zip instead of .jar). Was going to report it, but when I checked again the extenstion was corrected. It seems there is an issue here.

Finally, Now it is installed.

The problems seems to be at the downloading stage, when window asks you where you want to save the files, at the bottom of that window there is a drop down window for save as type which seems to default itself to winzip, change that, and after download is complete go to properties and change the program which runs the file from winzip to Java.

Only then can you double click and install.

Servoy should look at this and see if there is something they can do to force the dowload to come as .jar instead of being associated with .zip.

Cheers

Hi Salman, how do you think Servoy can solve this? Just out of curiousity…

A .jar is a totally respected and standard java file so I would say the programs that behave like they shouldn’t (in your case winzip) should change their (standard) installation…

The only thing that’s fair to ask of Servoy, imho, is that they document this somewhere so people know what is happening…

just my 2 cents
