Installing

Note:

This version of the product is a full install.
See Before Installing first for important information. Also, see Installing as an Upgrade, if you have an earlier version of Enterprise Developer installed on your machine.

To install this product:

Run the edvs2022_80.exe file (or edvs2019_80.exe for Visual Studio 2019, or edvs2022_80.exe for Visual Studio 2022) and follow the wizard instructions to install the prerequisite software and the product.
The installer installs Enterprise Developer, Enterprise Server for .NET, and Micro Focus Analysis Services Integration and offers to install Micro Focus Rumba+ Desktop. The setup file will also install any missing prerequisite software as listed in the topic Software Requirements.

Note: If you intend to use the Enterprise Server for .NET feature to run CICS or JCL applications in a .NET environment, the Rumba+ Desktop product is a prerequisite. We recommend that you install it at this time.
If, after installing Enterprise Developer for Visual Studio 2022, there are issues with using the Micro Focus functionality, you might need to execute the following command from a Visual Studio command prompt:
```
devenv /updateconfiguration
```

Note:

If you are installing onto a machine that has an existing Micro Focus product that uses an older Sentinel RMS License Manager, you might be prompted to remove it and install the Micro Focus License Administration. By doing this you maintain the existing Sentinel RMS license files while adding the Micro Focus License Administration. If you are unsure about existing licenses on your computer or removing the Sentinel RMS License Manager, consult your System Administrator. If you want to proceed, remove Sentinel RMS License Manager by using Program and Features, and rerun the installation file.
Depending on how you plan to use the product, there could be dependencies on the Microsoft Windows SDK and Microsoft Build Tools packages. The installer will install the latest versions of the Microsoft Windows 10 SDK, and the Microsoft Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017, to their default locations. Refer to Microsoft Package Dependencies to see if you will require these packages, and if not, you can configure the installer to skip download and installation (see Advanced Installation Tasks for more information).
If you choose not to install Rumba+ Desktop at this time, but decide you want it later, you must then uninstall Enterprise Developer, and then rerun the installer with the Rumba+ Desktop option checked. As an alternative, you can use a different emulator, but be aware that instructions in this documentation often assume that you are using the Rumba+ Desktop emulator.
Trial licenses cannot be used with remote desktop services. If you want to use your product in this way, please contact Micro Focus Customer Care to obtain a relevant license.
We recommend that you install any updates for Visual Studio and the .NET Framework that are available at the Microsoft Download site.
If you install JDK you might be prompted to install the latest update. The latest update is not required for use with Enterprise Developer but you can install it if you wish.
