1. Download and unzip auiml.zip to the location of your choice. If this location is not c:\, you must update the paths in the following files before continuing:

   $yourLocation\auiml\Toolkit\csa_runtime\settings\registry.properties $yourLocation\auiml\VisualBuilder\eclipse\links\com.ibm.csa.toolkit.link

2. If installing into Eclipse: Make sure Visual Editor Project 1.2 and its prerequisites are installed. (To install them, extract the Eclipse build and then extract each project's build into the eclipse\ directory.)
3. Eclipse 3.2.x only: Copy the $yourLocation\auiml\VisualBuilder\eclipse\links directory to the Eclipse directory. This action will install the AUIML VisualBuilder plug-in into Eclipse.
4. Rational Software Development Platform 7.0 only: Open a command prompt window. Change directory to the Rational Software Development Platform 7.0 installation directory. The default location is C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70. At the command prompt, enter this command (you only need to run this Java command the first time after installing the AUIML Toolkit):

   java –cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main –application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate –command addSite –from "C:\auiml\VisualBuilder\csa_5.1.0"

   Note: You may get the message 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. This message indicates that Java is not included your Windows PATH environment variable. In order to fix this, you must update the environment variable or fully qualify the path to a JRE installed on your system.

5. Start Eclipse, create a Java project, and then create an AUIML file. Further information about getting started can be found in the "readme" file and in the AUIML Toolkit Developer Guide in the Eclipse Help Contents. Note: You may see the following error message: Could not restore workbench layout when migrating an existing workspace. This message can be ignored.
