Installation

Once you have downloaded the HotJava Browser 1.1.5, installation and configuration require two basic steps:

Run the HotJava Browser installation program by double clicking on its icon.
- U.S. and Canada version
  hjb115-win32-dom.exe
  -or-
- Global version
  hjb115-win32-gl-ssl.exe
  -or-
- Global version without SSL
  hjb115-win32-gl-nossl.exe
Alternatively, run the HotJava Browser by typing its name in a Command Prompt window (available under Programs from the Start menu):
- U.S. and Canada version
  C:\>hjb115-win32-dom.exe
  -or-
- Global version
  C:\>hjb115-win32-gl-ssl.exe
  -or-
- Global version without SSL
  C:\>hjb115-win32-gl-nossl.exe
This will create a HotJava parent directory and all of the necessary subdirectories and files for this release, including lib\classes.zip.
DO NOT UNZIP THE CLASSES.ZIP FILE.
Run HotJava Browser 1.1.5 .
The easiest way to run HotJava Browser is from the Start Menu. Click on Start, go to Programs, then to HotJava Browser, and choose HotJava Browser.
You can also start the HotJava Browser by double clicking on the HotJava icon in:
C:\HotJava\bin
(This assumes you used the default installation location. If you installed into a different location, click on the icon there.)
Or, you can start the HotJava Browser by typing from a Command Prompt window (available under Programs from the Start menu):
C:\HotJava\bin\hotjava.exe
(Again, this assumes you used the default installation location. If not, start the program from the location in which you installed it.)
If you are running Windows95, you can also create a program item, or shortcut, containing a link to the executable so that you can start HotJava directly from the desktop by double-clicking the HotJava icon.

Troubleshooting

If you see one of the following error messages:

net.socketException: errno = 10047

Unsupported version of Windows Socket API

check which TCP/IP drivers you have installed. The HotJava Browser supports only the Microsoft TCP/IP drivers included with Windows95 and Windows NT. If you are using third-party drivers (e.g., Trumpet Winsock), you'll need to change over to the native Microsoft TCP/IP drivers if you want to load applets over the network.
