The Toolbox demo requires Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4 or newer on the target system and it is platform-independent. It runs under any host operating system, which supports Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition. The hardware requirements include 1,5 GB free disk space and a minimum of 256 MB available RAM (512 MB or more is highly recommended).
The Toolbox demo application is distributed with fully automated offline installer (Toolbox-vX.YZ-offline-setup.exe), compatible with recent versions of the Microsoft Windows (NT, 2000, XP, 2003) operating system. In order to install the Toolbox just run the installer and follow its instructions. It contains all the required packages, including the Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4 setup and a standalone MySQL database server. The installer will check the size of available free disk space on your system and will allow you to install the Toolbox demo only if the above mentioned requirement is met.
If the installer does not detect Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4 or newer on the target system, it will attempt to install it before proceeding with the Toolbox demo setup. In this case, the user running the installer SHOULD HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES on the target system (otherwise the Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition setup would be aborted and the Toolbox demo would not be installed).
If the installer detects Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4 or newer already installed on the target system, it will proceed directly with the Toolbox demo setup. In this case, ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES ARE RECOMMENDED BUT NOT NECESSARILY REQUIRED.
When the installer is launched by a user with administrative privileges, it will create Toolbox demo start menu shortcuts for all the users registered in the target system. Otherwise, start menu shortcuts will be created only for the unprivileged user, who launched the installation.
After a successful installation, the Toolbox demo could be launched from the Start Menu ("Start -> All Programs -> Ideaconsult -> Toolbox-vX.YZ -> Toolbox-vX.YZ").
Each version of the Toolbox demo could be uninstalled either by using the "Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs" or by clicking the "Uninstall" link located in "Start -> All Programs -> Ideaconsult -> Toolbox-vX.YZ -> Uninstall- Toolbox-vX.YZ". Any application files which may happen to be locked during the uninstall procedure would be deleted after the next reboot of the system. Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition would not be uninstalled by the Toolbox demo uninstaller. If needed, it could be uninstalled via its own entry in "Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs".
