• AEM Forms on JEE Service Pack
• AEM Service Pack
• Forms add-on package
• Fragment Servlet

• Download and install the 64-bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages for Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 on the computer where AEM 6.5 Forms is installed.

1. Stop your application server.

2. Extract the AEM Forms on JEE Service Pack installer archive to your hard drive:

   • Windows
     Navigate to the appropriate directory on the installation media or folder on your hard disk where you copied the installer, and double-click the aemforms65_cfp_install.exe file.

     • (Windows 32-bit) Windows\Disk1\InstData\VM
     • (Windows 64-bit) Windows_64Bit\ Disk1\InstData\VM

   • Linux®
     Navigate to the appropriate directory, and from a shell and type ./aem65_cfp_install.bin.

     • (Linux®) Linux/Disk1/InstData/NoVM

   This launches an install wizard that guides you through the installation.

3. On the Introduction panel, click Next.

4. On the Choose Install Folder screen, verify that the default location displayed is correct for your existing installation, or click Browse to select the alternate folder where AEM forms is installed, and click Next.

5. Read the Service Pack summary information and click Next.

6. Read the Pre-Installation Summary information and click Install.

7. When the installation is complete, click Next to apply the quick fix updates to your installed files.

8. [For Windows only]: Perform one of the following step:

   • Either deselect the Start Configuration Manager option before you click Done. Run Configuration Manager by using the ConfigurationManager.bat file in [aem-forms root]\configurationManager\bin.

   • Or deselect the Start Configuration Manager option before you click Done. Before running Configuration Manager using ConfigurationManager.exe or ConfigurationManager_IPv6.exe, navigate to <AEMForms_Install_Dir>\configurationManager\bin directory and replace the ConfigurationManager.lax and ConfigurationManager_IPV6.lax with the latest ConfigurationManager.lax and ConfigurationManager_IPV6.lax files, Search, and replace axis-1.4.1.1.jar with axis-1.4.1.2.jar in these two files.

     note note
     NOTE
     Updating or replacing the ConfigurationManager.bat file helps you to avoid updating the .lax files manually.

9. [For Unix-based only]: The Start Configuration Manager check box is selected by default. Click Done to run the Configuration Manager instantly or to run Configuration Manager later, deselect the Start Configuration Manager option before you click Done. You can start Configuration Manager later using the appropriate script in the [AEM_forms_root]/configurationManager/bin directory.
