Please read the License Agreement before downloading the Preview Edition. The LICENSE file details the restrictions of the software and this preview program. You must read it and agree to its terms before installing or using the software.

The Preview Edition uses either InstallAnywhere 2.5 to make it easier to install and run SiteSurfer.

Select your target platform:

• Windows 95/98/NT
• Macintosh
• Other Java Platforms (OS/2, Linux, AIX, Solaris, etc.)

In case of Installer problems. Please report any problems with the Windows native and/or platform independent installers to us in the discussion area. If you do have problems, you can download a do-it-yourself .ZIP package (surfdemo.zip).

Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT users. You may download this self-installing executable (install.exe). When it is finished, you can install and run SiteSurfer just like any other Windows application. If you wish to install SiteSurfer with Sun Microsystem's Jave Runtime (JRE) v.1.1.7B included, you can use install_vm.exe, instead.

Nota Bene: Users who chose to use the Microsoft VM instead of a Sun Java VM are likely to need to upgrade to Microsoft's latest version.

• Click here to download the current Microsoft VM directly from Microsoft
• Save the file
• Exit Internet Explorer
• Run the file you just saved, and follow Microsoft's instructions.

Nota Bene: You will need to install MRJ v2.1 Prerelease before installing SiteSurfer.

• jre -cp install.zip install

If that doesn't work, try:

• jre -classpath [path to]classes.zip:install.zip install

If that doesn't work either, on sh-like shells, try:

• cd [to directory where install.zip is located]
  set CLASSPATH=[path to]classes.zip:install.zip
  export CLASSPATH
  jre install.zip

Or for csh-like shells, try

• cd [to directory where install.zip is located]
  setenv CLASSPATH [path to]classes.zip:install.zip
  jre install.zip

On some systems, the java runtime environment ("jre"), is named "java"; adjust the name accordingly for your system.

Nota Bene (OS/2 users): you may not be able to run the installer from a network drive. The solution is to copy install.zip to a local drive.
