Installing the ZIP file into RAD 7.0

Before you install:

Please make sure you downloaded the correct zip file for RAD7. If the download page did not explicitly mention RAD7, download the zip file for Eclipse 3.2.

Install using an extension location

  1. Select a location outside of your RAD installation and create an eclipse subdirectory.
    Example:  C:\Program Files\Instantiations\productname\eclipse
    Unzip the files into the eclipse subdirectory you just created. This will add features and plugins subdirectories to the eclipse directory.
  2. Next, create a text file called .eclipseextension and save it in the C:\Program Files\Instantiations\productname\eclipse directory. This file should contain a name for the product, a product id and version number.
    For Example:
    	name=Designer
    	id=com.instantiations.designer
    	version=6.9.0
    or
     
    	name=CodePro
    	id=com.instantiations.codepro
    	version=6.0.0
    or
     
    	name=CodePro Profiler
    	id=com.instantiations.profiler
    	version=2.0.0
  3. Start the IDE (RAD7) and go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration. Click Add an Extension Location and browse to the C:\Program Files\Instantiations\productname\eclipse directory created earlier and click OK. Select Yes when asked to restart the IDE.
