Installation directions for my final project in physical computing and intro computational media
________________________________________________________________________________________________



I ran this application on both WindowsNT and Windows 98.  You must have jdk1.2.2 installed.  jdk1.3 has some problems with video.  Also install Quicktime.  
When you get to the part where you can custum install, scroll down to and click on Quicktime for java. 

Below are the things installed on the computer I used to run this application.  

Here are the places I put things:

c:\jdk1.2.2\lib\ez-serial.jar			I got this from Daniel Howe
c:\jdk1.2.2\lib\QTJava.zip			http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/qtjava/
						http://qtj.apple.com/pub/doc/packages.html

c:\jdk1.2.2\lib\comm.jar			http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/index.html
c:\jdk1.2.2\lib\javax.comm.properties
c:\jdk1.2.2\bin\win32com.dll

Because you need admin capabilities to reset the classpaths on the school's computers, I made a SetClassPath.bat, which was in the same folder as the java files, .

set CLASSPATH=.;c:\jdk1.2.2\lib\comm.jar;c:\jdk1.2.2\lib\ez-serial.jar;c:\jdk1.2.2\lib\QTJava.zip;c:\jdk1.2.2\lib

Below are the directions from Sun:

Copy win32com.dll to your <JDK>\bin directory. 

C:\>copy c:\commapi\win32com.dll to c:\jdk1.1.6\bin 

Copy comm.jar to your <JDK>\lib directory. 

C:\>copy c:\commapi\comm.jar c:\jdk1.1.6\lib 

Copy javax.comm.properties to your <JDK>\lib directory. 

C:\>copy c:\commapi\javax.comm.properties c:\jdk1.1.6\lib 
The javax.comm.properties file must be installed. If it is not, no ports will be found by the system. 



Add comm.jar to your classpath (do not do this step for a JRE installation). 
If you don't have a classpath defined: 

C:\>set CLASSPATH=c:\jdk1.1.6\lib\comm.jar 


If you already have a classpath defined: 

C:\>set CLASSPATH=c:\jdk1.1.6\lib\comm.jar;%classpath%
