README - OpenBase 10.0.11 for Windows 2000/2003/XP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proven in real-world applications since 1991, OpenBase SQL gained its popularity for delivering both: scalable performance and fault-tolerant data integrity/availability in an affordable, easy-to-use database.

OpenBase 10.0.11 for Windows now includes a native OpenBase Manager application.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL -- FOR WEBOBJECTS 4.5 & 5.x USERS
------------------------------------------------
If you have WebObjects installed, you probably have an older version of OpenBase which needs to be removed before you install OpenBase 10.0.11. If you are unsure what you have installed on this machine, please follow these instructions anyway as a precaution.

Please follow these steps to remove the version of OpenBase that installs with WebObjects:

1. Remove the OpenBase startup script. To do this, open up a command line prompt, change directory to Apple\OpenBase\bin and run the following command:

invoker remove openexec

2. Reboot your computer.
3. Delete the following files (where * is a wildcard):
Apple\OpenBase\bin
Apple\bin\OpenBase*
Apple\Library\OpenBaseJDBC.jar

4. Now you are ready to install.

5. After installation you may want to download the latest JDBC driver from http://www.openbase.com/download and place it in Apple\Library.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL
---------------------------------
It is important that you remove the previous versions of OpenBase from your hard drive before you install. Here are the steps:

1. Inside the OpenBase SQL menu category (off the Start menu), choose Uninstall OpenBase.

2. Reboot. This makes sure that none of the OpenBase processes are running.

3. Perform the installation (see instructions below).
