Installing JSonar

Installation Instructions

If you are installing JSonar from a zip archive, please follow the manual installation instructions and then return to these instructions. If you installed JSonar using the installer, these steps have been performed automatically and you should skip this step. Please be aware that the installer is the recommended way to install JSonar. The zip archive should only be used in special circumstances and by advanced users.

Manual Installation Instructions

If you installed JSonar using an installer, you can skip these instructions. If you decided not to use an installer but instead use a zip archive (not recommended), follow these steps after unzipping the scripts:

1. Switch to the folder where you unzipped the scripts.
2. Find and switch to the regkeys folder.
3. Look for files with an extension .reg and the name containing your particular version of Sonar, e.g. the file with registry entries for Sonar 6 Producer Edition would be called “Sonar Producer 6.0 Accessibility Mode.reg”.
4. Press ENTER key on that file and answer positively to the two dialog boxes that are presented.
5. Move back to the previous folder and switch to the surface folder.
6. Copy the file named jsonar.dll to a non-temporary location on your system drive; e.g. c:\Program Files\JSonar 6.
7. Register jsonar.dll in this new location with a command like the following from the Start menu->Run dialog:
   regsvr32 “c:\Program Files\JSonar 6\jsonar.dll”
8. Now return to the normal installation instructions.
