Special Note for Those Upgrading from Previous Trial Edition of NewJ Library

If you previously installed the NewJ Library for C++ Pre-release 3 (version 0.3) or earlier, it is recommended that you uninstall your previous version before installing this new version.

If you have already installed this new version alongside your previous version, you will need to remove the previous version directories from your Visual C++ 6.0 include files directories and library files directories before you can build properly using this new version.

Note: Even if you have uninstalled your previous version, the uninstaller does not remove the previous version include files directory and library files directory from the Visual C++ 6.0 IDE options. It is recommended that you remove these even if you are able to build successfully without doing so.

To remove the previous version include files directory and library files directory, do the following:

1. Open Visual C++ 6.0 IDE.
2. Select the menu item Tools > Options...
3. On the Options dialog, select the Directories tab.
4. Under "Show directories for:", select Include files.
5. Select the NewJ include path in the list box. For example, if you installed NewJ Library Pre-release 3 in the default location, it will be "C:\Program Files\newj0.3\include". If you do not see it, you may need to scroll to the end of the list. When you have selected it, press the Delete key or click the Delete button. Now it will be removed from the list.
6. Under "Show directories for:", select Library files.
7. Select the NewJ library path in the list box. For example, if you installed NewJ Library Pre-release 3 in the default location, it will be "C:\Program Files\newj0.3\lib". If you do not see it, you may need to scroll to the end of the list. When you have selected it, press the Delete key or click the Delete button. Now it will be removed from the list.
8. Choose OK.

You are now ready to build programs for the latest version of NewJ Library.

Troubleshooting

Problem: On Windows 2000, the installation program will fail to update your Visual C++ settings for include and library directories if you do not have administrator privileges.

Solution: Have administrator grant your user account administrator privileges. Alternately, you could add the include and library directories manually using the Visual C++ IDE. See Installation Instructions on page 7 of the NewJ Library for C++ Developer's Guide.
