Installing AFP Visual Environment using the installer

The AFP Visual Environment can now be installed using an executable jar file AVEInstaller_X.X.jar.

To run the installer, perform these steps:

  • Use the following command: java -jar AVEInstaller_x.x.jar, where x.x is the product version; for example, java -jar AVEInstaller_1.4.jar for the 1.4 version of AFP Visual Environment.
      Note:
    • To install the AFP Visual Environment, you need 64 bit Java 1.8 or later and Administrative rights.
    • On some Java versions, due to a bug, the above java -jar command might not start the installer. Use this additional parameter: java -Djdk.util.zip.disableZip64ExtraFieldValidation=true -jar AVEInstaller_x.x.jar.

  • Depending on the capabilities of your operating system, the AFP Visual Environment installer opens either using a graphical user interface or a command line.

  • Follow the installation steps of the installer. You will be asked to install the AFP Visual Environment user interface or the AFP Visual Environment commands. During the installation process, you must specify the installation location.

Note: If you install AFP Visual Environment on Windows in the Program Files folder of the computer, you must run the program with Administrator rights.
