Solution The solution here is listed for Automize, but the same applies to AbleFtp and JaSFtp.  (simply replace Automize with AbleFtp or JaSFtp as applicable)

a) Preferably use the All platforms installer (.zip file), to prevent messing up your current production system start menu links. 

b) Unzip the zip file into any desired folder.  A folder called Hitek6 will be created. In this Hitek6 folder, locate the Automize.bat (or AbleFtp.bat file as needed) on windows, or Automize file on unix/macosx.

c) To launch the engine from the Automize.bat batch file, change the launch code in Automize.bat to use the java machine that is installed by the standard .exe installer.  On windows, this default value is:
"c:\program files\automize\jre\bin\javaw" -cp
.;inputs;mail.jar;activation.jar;NetComponents.jar;jclasses.jar Automize 

d) Also, on startup, you would have to change the engine port to be some other value than 1965, since 1965 is being used by the production system Automize. 


e) You would not be able to use the NT service for the development system Automize.
