INSTALLATION OF JBASE 3.4.10 ON WINDOWS 7
This document basically takes you through all the steps as I remember them to
install Jbase 3.4.10 on Windows 7
I started with a clean computer so skip the steps you don't need.
1/ Install windows 7 32 bit version
2/ Install your windows printer. This printer should have PCL 5 (i.e. a laser
printer)
3/ Create a "home" directory on your hard drive where all your data will
reside. I called mine C:\usr
4/ Download and install .net 1.1 and SDK for .net 1.1 from the Microsoft
Downloads site.
5/ Once you have installed the .net, you will notice another sub folder on
your hard drive in the "Program Files" folder , "Microsoft Visual Studio .net
2003". Sub folders to this are "common7" and "VC7".
6/ Once you have all of the above done, you can insert your jbase 3.4.10 disk
and install
7/ When the auto install is complete, there are some further tweeks you must
make to your system. One of these is installing environmental variables. you
can find the screen by going here: START BUTTON (bottom left of screen), right
click computer, click properties on the menu, then choose advanced system
properties from the screen (left side), this brings up another menu called
system properties, and there is a button near the bottom called "environmental
properties". CLICK THIS BUTTON. This brings up the screen where you can edit
stuff. We will be inserting in the "SYSTEM VARIABLES" section as these are
global changes for all users.
a) So, under thIS screen are buttons. Click "new" and complete the data
entry screen. variable name: HOME variable Value: C:\USR
b) ENTRIES FOR INCLUDES: If not alreay in the box, click new, or if it is
there click edit.
When you are done editing your data entry screen should show :
Variable Name ; include
variable value : C:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net
2003\VC7\INCLUDE\
c) entries for lib : If present use edit, if not use new
Again, data entry screen should read
Variable Name : lib
Variable value : C:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net 2003\VC7\LIB\
d) If jbase hasn't set it up, you should make sure that the entry for Path
is as follows
variable name : Path
variable value : c:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net
2003\vc7\bin\;c:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net
2003\common7\ide\;C:\JBASE30\INCLUDE
PLEASE NOTE : There are probable other additions you must make to each of
the above but the author of this document has a system with multiple accounts
and uses the REMOTE.CMD in each of the accounts to set these.
Another System environmental variable which is optional to set is:
JBC_despoolsleep
if you don't change it, it usually takes up to 30 seconds to start
printing a report once it is prepaired. If you set the value of
jbc_despoolsleep to 3, response is much quicker. The number you enter specifies
how many seconds the system sleeps before checking to see if there is anything
to print. I would think that lowering the number puts a bit more load on the
processor.
IF AND WHEN you can log on to your system, at the prompt you should run
SP-NEWTAB with option C (confinue) to set up your printer table. It is this
table that you must enter your printer names and options into.
if you only have one account on your system then you can also set
JBCOBJECTLIST to point at the lib file of your programs. I set this through my
REMOTE.CMD file each time I log to a different account.
I have also added a couple of items to the jbase30\config file for printer
control, but remember if you do this, it will be wiped out each time you
install jbase from the master disc. Also, I have added a small file to the
\bin file called GED which sets parameters and then runs JED for auto indenting.
USERS:
You must create a windows user for each jbase account. For example:
I have an account called CHURCHDEV where I experiment with programs before
I add them to my live system.
I have a Windows user called CHURCHDEV, with password set to NEVER EXPIRE,
it is a member of administrators and users, and the local profile is set to
c:\usr\CHURCHDEV
Since we have several accounts, we ended up with an icon on the screen for
each of them. Also, since we have a security systems that only lets users
logon with their personal name, we did not need these icons on the welcome
screen of Windows. Following has been copied from an article on how to hide
them.
1) run regedit.exe
2) navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WINDOWSNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
3) if SpecialAccounts\userlist is not found, create a new sub-key and name
them accordingly.
4) Selete UserList and in the right pane, right click on any blank space
and point to New>DWORD(32 BIT) vALUE.
5) Name the new DWORD registry value name as the exact same name that
matches the name of the user account to be hidden..
6) couble click on DWORD registry value and set the value data to 0 in
order to hide the account from the welcome screen.
`
7) exit regedit
8) Log off and back on to make the changes effective
If you ever want the accounts to be visible again, either delete the entry
or change the value to 1.
Also, if you don't want to be bothered with passwords at logon to your
jbase account, you can set WINDOWS TO ACCEPT BLANK PASSWORDS. Then when you
logon , you just have to enter your account name, and <enter> for the blank
password.
To make this change you must do the following:
1/ Log on to windows as an administrator
2/ click the start button
3/ type "gpedit.msc in the search box, and <enter>
4/ Under Computer configurations, expand WINDOWS SETTINGS. Expand Security
Settings, Expand Local policies, click security options.
In the right pane, DOUBLE CLICK ON ACCOUNTS LIMIT LOCAL ACCOUNTS USE OF
BLANK PASSWORDS TO CONSOL LOGON ONLY, and the select DISABLED radion button.
5/ Then click OK AND close the windows
6/ open the command prompt and in the window type "gpupdate /force to
update the policies and close the command window.

Subject: Re: Will jBASE 3.10 run ok on 32-bit Windows 7
Here is my installation document. I might add that I had help from others on
this site to get my system installed.
Also I would add, that I have multiple accounts set up and each account has its
own md, bin, programs , etc files. My back up info consists of a copy of the
account that I have worked on and pasted into a file on an external hard drive.
the file name is the date of my backup (copy) Takes less than a minute to
backup a full account including basic source, lib, data .
sorry, I couldn’t find a way to make “live mail” insert text into this
document, so it is an attachment. If this is unreadable, let me know , and I
will try harder.

Dear All,
I am hoping someone can give me, hopefully a simple and unconditional, answer
to “ Will jBASE 3.10 work on a 32-bit Windows 7 system?”
My client came in on Monday to a ¾ fried system (a power distribution board
failure took out nearly everything) and have spent 4 days recovering (just)
from it. They are looking to upgrade and I want to do it as quickly and
uneventfully as possible, so a simple move from a Windows Server 2003 system
running jBASE 3.10 and my own Magician accounting software on jBiTE 4GL would
be ideal. Later we can look at moving up to jBASE 5 on a full 64-bit system
but speed is of the essence.
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Neil.
