Following are the system requirements for installing and running StarTeam 2009 Software Development Kit
| System Area | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Platform | Windows XP SP3, 32-bit Windows Vista SP1, 32-bit |
| Processor | Intel Pentium II/500 MHz or higher |
| RAM | 768 MB recommended minimum 1 GB recommended |
| Hard disk space | 300 MB for compact installation 1.4 GB for full installation |
The StarTeam SDK requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) version 1.1.8 or later. You can use the latest JVM from Microsoft, Sun, or IBM. Be sure that a compatible JVM is installed on your machine before installing the SDK.
StarTeam SDK Path
The root path of the SDK is determined by the path in the setup.ini file whose content looks like the following:
On a 32-bit system
[StarTeam SDK Folders]
Programs=C:\Program Files\Borland
Java=C:\Program Files\Borland\Java
On a 64-bit system
[StarTeam SDK Folders] //for 32-bit SDK
Programs=C:\Program Files (x86)\Borland
Java=C:\Program Files (x86)\Borland\Java
[StarTeam 64-SDK Folder] //for 64-bit SDK
Programs=C:\Program Files\Borland
Java=C:\Program Files\Borland\Java
The setup.ini file can be found under the All Users and current User profiles directories, for example on WinXP:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Borland\StarTeam, and
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Borland\StarTeam
Note: You can manually change the path for the SDK from these two copies of setup.ini. However, it's not recommended to do so
since it may cause failure in applications that depend on previous installation of SDKs.
For a discussion of platform issues, see Platform Issues.
