The Dissect Framework is distributed in the form of a platform-independent JAR(Java ARchive) file. In order to use Dissect in your J2SE or J2EE applications, just make sure that the JAR file is available in the CLASSPATH variable of your environment.

To install do the following:

1. Download dissect-bin-v1.1_b2.zip file from here^*
   
2. Download Apache Xerces from here ^*
   
3. Unzip dissect-bin-v1.1_b2.zip into a directory (This directory will have the dissect-bin.jar file)
4. Modify the CLASSPATH environment variable of your application and include dissect-bin.jar in it. Also make sure that the dissect-config.xml file resides in the CLASSPATH.
5. Install Apache Xerces for Java according to the instructions^* on the Apache Xerces site

Thats it. You are now ready to use the Dissect Framework.
