Installation Instructions

  1. Uninstall any previous version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Software Development Kit (J2SDK) using the Add/Remove Programs utility (Start ... Settings ... Control Panel ... Add/Remove Programs).
    Note: Installing the JRE versions 1.4 and higher without removing earlier versions can prevent Internet Explorer from reporting that the Java Plug-In is installed, although the iProject will still run correctly.
  2. Download and run the installation program. We recommend using 1.4.2 for all versions of Windows.

    If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, you may either save the installation program to disk and run it from there, or open it directly from the Web site.
