1	As the symkey user, download the free JDK 5.0 – also known as J2SE5 - from Sun's website and store it in a temporary directory (c:\tmp). Download the standalone version of the J2SE and not the ones bundled with NetBeans or with Java EE. The instructions below apply only to the standalone version of the JDK.
2	If you are in a country where it is available, download the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 5.0 from the same page on the website. Save this file in the temporary directory (c:\tmp). If you cannot download this file, you will not be able to use any symmetric key whose size is greater than 128-bits.
3	Go to the c:\tmp directory and install the JDK by executing the downloaded binary file using jdk-1_5_0_0x-windows-i586-p.exe You should see the start of the installation wizard:

32	Slide the slider down and select WordPad and click OK. You should see the text file open up inside the WordPad window.
33	Find the following section and add the line highlighted in red color in this instruction to the previous security.providers in the file. (You should already have six JCE providers in the default JDK installation): # # List of providers and their preference orders (see above): # security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun security.provider.2=sun.security.rsa.SunRsaSign security.provider.3=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider security.provider.4=com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE security.provider.5=sun.security.jgss.SunProvider security.provider.6=com.sun.security.sasl.Provider security.provider.7=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 /usr/local/etc/symkey/pkcs11/jdk5-nss-windows.cfg Bear in mind that each provider is on a separate line, and that the line for provider #7 is really one, unbroken line. To avoid typographical errors, please copy the red line and paste it into your java.security file. Your finished edit should look like the following:
34	Save the file. You should see the following warning
35	Select Yes and exit WordPad.
36	Display the c:\usr\local\etc/symkey\pkcs11\jdk5-nss-windows.cfg file and review its contents. One of the lines in there states:
		library = /Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/softokn3.dll
37	Verify that you do have such a file in that location on your machine in the C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox directory. If it does not, then it is probably because you do not have Firefox installed. In this case, please install Firefox 1.5.x first, and continue from step #36 above. You can get Firefox for free at http://www.mozilla.com/firefox.
38	Using the steps described from step #13 to step #22, add the C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox directory to the PATH variable of your environment. The only difference is that where you added the JDK path to the environment earlier, you will add the Firefox path this time.
39	After you have successfully added the Firefox directory to your PATH, open a new Command Prompt window and type set
		You should see a number of environment variables and their values displayed on the screen.
		Find the PATH environment variable and ensure that the Firefox directory location is in it. If not, please retrace step #38 to ensure you have the correct location in the PATH variable).
		If the library is available in the location specified by the library parameter in the jdk5-nss-windows.cfg file, then it is OK.
