Instructions to install the new Builds 2.0.18, requirement for dist-0707.

0. Requirements

Visual Studio 2005 Redist:

You must have the MSVC80 runtime libraries installed in your system.
If you do not have it you can install by using the installer in the "redist" directory.

1. Install Builds 2.0

Obtain Builds setup and install it:

\\ironman\dev\packages\builds20\Builds-2.0.XX-setup.exe

Note: In Builds-2.0.XX-setup.exe, XX represents the version number. Always use the latest one;

Note: Install Builds inside the shared directory (which is the default directory);

Note: Builds already do the following instalation steps:

  • Download 4NT
  • Download shared-scripts
  • Create the "user install script" (see bellow)

3. Customize the user install script

The user install script is responsible for configuring the environment before "Builds's I'm in" (ii) takes control. This is the place the user can customize some variables in order to make builds work in his system. The script is automatically called by 4NT in its start-up process.

The script is named install_bb_user.bat and it's located in the $APPDATA\Builds directory:

c:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\Builds\install_bb_user.bat

The scripts has three parts:

  1. Configure environment variables (change only variables that differs from the default)
  2. Call install_bb.bat
  3. Load the environment by calling the command ii .
