Installation

Download Jeti from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=137228
or from http://jabberstudio.org/projects/jeti/releases/
Unzip the file
Start Jeti by double clicking the jeti.jar file, or typing: javaw -jar jeti.jar in a command prompt
You can also make a windows shortcut to Jeti by typing javaw.exe -jar jeti.jar as the target and the Jeti directory as the start directory in the shortcut dialog. Jeti save the preferences to its own dir unless you start Jeti with "javaw -jar jeti.jar home" this will save the preferences in the home dir (on unix in /home/user/.jeti/ on windows in "documents and settings\user\.jeti\). If you change home with a directory name Jeti will save the preferences there (be sure to end the directory with a \ or /) . You should also copy the icon files to that directory then.

If you want a windows icon for Jeti you can use this one: Jeti.ico

Upgrade

There are two ways of updating
Safe way
Extract the zip file in a new directory (to remove the old plugins) and copy profiles.xml (this file stores the login parameters) from the old to the new dir (if you want to keep your prefences you can also copy preferences.xml)
If you use the messageLog plugin you can copy the logs dir to keep your old log files.
If the new version works you can delete the old directory.

Fast way
Just extract the zip over the old Jeti, the zip has a Jeti directory so you need to extract it to the parent directory of your Jeti directory
