1. Copy vport_r_70.dll, vdlog_r_70.dll, orb_r_70.dll and lmgr.dll, osagent.exe and lmadm.exe into a folder, for example, D:\\Borland\\min_install

2. Copy the complete content of the "var" and "license" folders from the already registered VisiBroker installation.

3. Copy lm.jar, sanct6.jar and sanctuary.jar from the lib folder of the VisiBroker product installation.

 11/09/2006 04:09 PM 286,720 vport_r_70.dll

5. Create and run the following batch file named vbroker.bat:

set VBROKERDIR=D:\\Borland\\min_install
set VBROKER_ADM=%VBROKERDIR%\\var\\vbroker\\adm
set OSAGENT_PORT=14000
set PATH=%VBROKERDIR%;%PATH%
set BES_LIC_DIR=%VBROKERDIR%\\var
set BES_LIC_DEFAULT_DIR=%VBROKERDIR%\\license

6. Create a config file named lmadm.config with following contents:

# Set the product install root
 set installRoot=$var(programDir)
 
# Location of your Java 2 JDK installation (folder containing the "jre" sub-folder)
# Change it to point to jdk installation on your machine or set jdk path in PATH.
 javahome D:/Borland/VisiBroker/7/jdk/jdk1.5.0
 
# Set up the list of jars in the product system directory
 addpath $var(installRoot)/lm.jar
 addpath $var(installRoot)/sanct6.jar
 
# The product installation location
 vmprop application.home=$var(installRoot)
 
# The product license
 vmprop borland.enterprise.licenseDefaultDir=$var(installRoot)/license
 vmprop borland.enterprise.licenseDir=$var(installRoot)/var
 
# Entry points into Java
 mainclass com.borland.enterprise.license.LMAdm

Note: For registration you will need to run the lmadm utility that comes with VisiBroker installation, and version 1.3.1 or higher is required by the lmadm utility. So, it will be part of the minimum installation, we have to use "-javahome" to specify the JDK or JRE location.
