Installing the Validation Responder

Upgrade Notes

There are two steps to upgrade from Validation Responder 7.3 to Validation Responder 7.4. The first step is to install the Validation Responder 7.4 afresh in a different location from where the previous version of the product was installed. Make sure that the required version of Java is installed and that the Validation Responder service has been disabled beforehand.

Important: Make sure not to overwrite the existing installation location of the previous version.

The second step is to configure the newly installed version 7.4 to the same configuration settings as the previous version. For details, refer to the Validation Responder Configuration.

Prerequisites

  • You must have installed the operating system on the server that will host the Validation Responder software.

  • The Validation Responder installer requires Java to be set in the execution PATH. This is required only to run the installer. After the Validation Responder installation has been completed, Validation Responder will work fine, even if the Java executable is not set in the system's execution PATH.

  • To install Validation Responder on Windows/Linux, Java Development Kit OpenJDK 11.0.2/15.0.2 (from OpenJDK.org) or Oracle JDK 11.0.12/15.0.2 is required.

    Note: JAVA_HOME & PATH variables are to be set in system environment variables for the installer to work.
