STEP 1: Install IBM WebSphere Voice Server SDK

Download IBM WebSphere Voice Server SDK US English Version: vssdkinstall_launcher.exe and vssdkinstall_en.exe from the "Downloads" page, unpack both of them to a same directory.

If you already have installed a version of JRE newer than 1.3.1, you have to uninstall it first. Then you can install JRE 1.3.1 from the file \install\jre131\j2re-1_3_1-win-i.exe (this path is relative to the directory where you unpacked the installation package.)

Then execute the file setup.exe in the unpacked directory to start the installation wizard for the SDK.

NOTE:
1. You must install the SDK on a local hard drive. You cannot install to a local diskette or to a ZIP drive, CD-ROM, or remote drive.

2. Should a message be displayed during the installation process and the message is not completely visible, enlarge the dialog window by clicking and dragging one of the four corners until the entire message is visible.

3. The name of the folder where you install the SDK cannot contain any accented characters (for example, é, û, and Ç).

4. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard to install the SDK.

5. The default destination directory is: C:\Program Files\VoiceServerSDK. It is highly recommended that the SDK is installed in the default directory. If you choose to specify a different directory, the following restrictions apply:

The destination path should not include non-alphanumeric characters (for example, ~!@#$%^&*), accented characters (for example, é, û, and Ç), or non-ASCII characters. You can only use ASCII characters, alphanumeric characters, and space.

The destination path should not be more than five directory levels. For example: <windrive>:\Program Files\two\three\four\VoiceServerSDK

When the installation wizard has finished installing the SDK, restart your computer.

STEP 2: Setup SDK

Start the Audio Setup program to configure your microphone and speakers by selecting Start -> Programs -> IBM WebSphere Voice Server SDK, then select the Audio Setup program. Follow the instructions.
