Installing OpenVMS Debugger Clients on a PC  



The OpenVMS Debugger Version 7.3-2 includes a client/server interface. The debug server runs on the OpenVMS operating system; there are debug clients that run on OpenVMS, Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows NT. There is no separate installation procedure for the components that run on the OpenVMS operating system. They are installed when you install the operating system. This section describes the procedure for installing debug clients on a PC.

If you have Windows NT, you might need to install a COM update kit (Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows 95 do not require such a kit); choose one of the following options:

CPU Operating System Client Kit
Alpha
Windows NT
40COMAXP.EXE
Intel
Windows NT
40COMUPD.EXE

You must also install the debug client kit:

CPU Operating System Client Kit
Alpha
Windows NT
DEBUGALPHA011.EXE
Intel
Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP
DEBUGX86011.EXE

The client kits are self-extracting .EXE files. To make these clients available to PC users, copy these files from the distribution media to a suitable PATHWORKS share, FTP server, or other device available to the PC. (See the Guide to OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 CD-ROMs for the directory where these kits ship on the media.)

After the appropriate executable file has been transferred to the PC, you can run the file to install the debug client on the PC. The InstallShield installation procedure guides you through the installation.

By default, the debug client is installed in the \Programs\OpenVMS Debugger directory. You can also click on the Browse button to select an alternate directory.

Choose one of the following options:
