Run, check, and verify the Client installation
1. To install or upgrade the Debugger Client, download, extract, and run the SETUP.EXE file, which invokes a Windows installer. If you are upgrading to a newer build of the Client, the installer program will not remove the previous Debugger Client configuration file (debuggerConfig.xml).
- If you are re-installing the same build version of the Client, the installer insists that you first remove the existing Client files (using the Add/Remove program from the Windows Control Panel). The uninstaller program will not remove the Client configuration file (debuggerConfig.xml), and the installer will not overwrite it.
2. After the installer finishes, double click the Debugger Client icon (from the Windows system Start menu or from the desktop). The Client should open, displaying a list of messages that identify the Client and its host, as well as key file locations and software versions; the last message is yellow-highlighted:
3. Make sure the installer did the following:
Programs > Rocket Software > Rocket Software Debugger Client
- Installed these files in the target installation folder:
JanusDebugger.exe | The actual Debugger Client program. |
updateGet.exe | Program for downloading updated versions of the Client. |
unzip.exe | Freeware program for unpacking zipped files. |

The Janus/TN3270 Debugger User Guide, which includes installation instructions and a copy of the online Help contents, formatted for convenient printing. To display PDF files, you need the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/. For Client builds prior to 50, the jdebugr.pdf file is installed in the Doc installation subfolder. As of build 67, the folder location can be specified in the Client configuration file (debuggerConfig.xml). |
