Try building a little batch file called "setpath.bat", or something like
that and add something like the following:

set IDB=C:\InstantDB
set JRE="C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3"
set
CLASSPATH=%IDB%\Classes\idb.jar;%IDB%\Classes\idbexmpl.jar;%IDB%\Classes\jta
-spec1_0_1.jar;%JRE%\lib\rt.jar;%CLASSPATH%
set PATH=%JRE%\bin;%PATH%

Adjust to match your own directory structure. The jta-spec1_0_1.jar is in
the zip file downloaded from Sun's website. Things should run OK without the
standard extensions. With the above batch file, all you need to do is call
up a dos prompt, call setpath.bat and then type in the ScriptTool command in
the install instructions.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Pete

Subject: InstantDB: Newbie confused on install of InstantDB


> http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/download.html#corespec21
>
> I am brand new to Java, but know VB6.0 inside out. I want to convert a
> database app using MS Access to Java with InstantDB. I'm on a Windows 98
> platform with Sun JDK 2 SE (1.3)
>
> I read the InstantDB install instructions and I'm really confused.
>
> 1. What do I download from:
> http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/download.html#corespec21 .... (the JDBC
> Data Access API). Do I get the 2.1 extensios, the 3.0 or the 2.1
Optonal????
> Where do I put them.... what directory???
>
> 2. Where do I install (unzip) the jta-spec1_0_1.zip to?
>
> 3. We have not entered a Classpath in the autoexec.bat yet as we have not
> needed it (so far). What exactly is the command we should use for
InstantDB
> to work:
>
> set classpath =.;xxxx;xxxxx ????
>
> I know you are used to dealing with a higher level of Java knowlege, so I

be
> so bold, may I politely suggest that perhaps the install docs need to be

to

> Thanks. I'll check back here soon and hope that somoene will be able to
help
