Installation Instructions

Prior to installation, please uninstall any other versions of the eSubmitter software. If you do not have a previous version of eSubmitter, proceed to installing the current version of CeSub eSubmitter software.

To uninstall the previous versions of eSubmitter, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the eSub folder of the installed drive (e.g., C:). Then, double-click on the uninstall.exe and follow the instructions provided. (If you do not see uninstall.exe, locate and double-click to open the JExpress file folder. Then, double-click on the uninstall.bat and follow the instructions provided.)

To install the latest version of the CDRH CeSub eSubmitter software, navigate to the software's download directory and double-click on the jinstall.exe. Following the instructions of the installer, the CeSub eSubmitter software will be installed locally.

If you're using a proxy server to connect to the Internet, then you will need to change the application's properties file (eSubmission.properties) to reference the server. See your System Administrator for help in changing the properties file. The properties file is located in the application's JExpress subdirectory (Program Files\eSub\JExpress).

Add the following switches before the -cp switch:

-DproxySet=true -DproxyHost= [proxy_host] DproxyPort = [proxy_port]
(replace [proxy_host] and [proxy_port] with the appropriate information for your configuration).

If the proxy server requires a user id and password, add the following two properties to the update.control file that's also located in the JExpress subdirectory:

proxyUserName=
proxyPassword=

To launch CeSub eSubmitter, go to the Start menu and select Programs\CeSub eSubmitter\eSubmitter.

NOTE: If your computer is locked because of administrator privileges, you will have issues receiving automatic updates to the CeSub eSubmitter software. See your System Administrator.
