Installing MySabre on Windows Vista
4. Installing the Java Runtime Environment and MySabre
These steps will walk the installer through the installation of the MySabre emulator including the
Java Runtime Environment. Due to the additional security of Windows Vista, there are additional
manual steps required to complete the installation of MySabre.
Note: If you plan to install Sabre Desktop Reservation software including the Sabre Printing
Module, Sabre Cruise Director, TA Sharing (supports Sabre Cruise Director and Client Base +)
return to section 3.
4a. Installing MySabre without Sabre Desktop Reservation
applications
Note: If you have previously installed Sabre Desktop Reservation applications including
the Sabre Printing Module, Sabre Cruise Director, or TA Sharing as outlined in section 3
– Go to section 4b.
Note: The current web based MySabre installation is unable to complete the installation of
MySabre and “mark” the workstation as MySabre compliant. Typically the MySabre installation
will step the installer through various steps to ensure that the workstation meets the MySabre
requirements. Since you are installing MySabre on Windows Vista, the workstation obviously
meets the MySabre requirements and the first part of these steps will be performed to “mark” the
workstation as MySabre compliant.
Caution: It is not normally recommended that installers or agents modify the registry and care
should be taken when performing these steps.
1. Click on Start and type REGEDIT in the Start Search box. Press Enter
2. Click Continue
3. The Registry Editor window will appear
4. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Inter
net Settings\Accepted Documents
5. Right click on a blank space and click on New and then String Value
6. The New String Value will be placed in the window
7. Type P3231 and enter.
Note: This is case sensitive
8. Double click on the new key P3231 and the Edit String window will appear
9. In the Value data box, type pronto/1.00.00 and click OK.
Note: the pronto/1.00.00 is case sensitive. If a mistake is made here, it will require a
call to the MySabre Help Desk.
10. Click on the X to close the Registry Editor
4b. Installing the Java Runtime Environment
Note: If you already have a Java Runtime Environment installed on your workstation you can skip
this steps and go to section 4c.
Note: MySabre will work with a number of Java Runtime Environments with version 1.4.2_06
being the most popular. Additionally the MySabre team has certified MySabre on versions
1.5.0_04 and 1.5.0_06.
