Web Download Instructions
-------------------------

1.  Enter the required information and submit the registration form at
    http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ips/axis2/axis2_register.html
    to be directed to the kit download page.

    (AXIS2-V0101-I64.EXE) to a temporary 
    location by choosing the option to save the program to your disk.

3.  If you are downloading to a Windows machine, move the downloaded file
    to your OpenVMS machine using either a shared network drive or FTP. 

 
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
 
Note: If AXIS2 Version 1.0 for OpenVMS is removed from the system before installing 
the AXIS2 Version 1.1 for OpenVMS, then the logical AXIS2$ROOT has to be manually 
deassigned because there is a flaw in the Installation-Removal script of the AXIS2
Version 1.0 for OpenVMS kit.


1.  Expand the AXIS2 for OpenVMS compressed EXE file by entering the following
    command: 

        $ RUN AXIS2-V0101-I64.EXE

    Each EXE file contains the file HP-VMS-AXIS2-V0101--1.PCSI$COMPRESSED
    and HP-VMS-AXIS2-V0101--1.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW (the signed manifest file).   

2.  Start PCSI, the utility that installs the AXIS2 for OpenVMS
    component, by entering the following command:  

        $ PRODUCT INSTALL AXIS2

    (PCSI installs the PCSI$COMPRESSED file directly. You do not have to 
    expand it.) 
     
3.  Follow the on-screen installation instructions. 

    To proceed with a default installation, press Enter/Return in response 
    to any other installation questions.
