    1. Click the Add button. An Add Site dialog will open.
    2. In the dialog’s Name field, type Parasoft.
    3. To the right of the Location field, click the Archive button, then browse to the appropriate zip file (obtained via your Parasoft representative).
    4. Click OK. The Install panel will display the available features.
  3. Select the features that you want to install, then click Next and follow the prompts to complete the installation process.
  4. (Recommended) Restart the application.

When installing Parasoft SOAtest from the p2 update site on Windows, it is necessary to run the .bat script named soatest_install.bat.This script is installed into the eclipse directory of the Eclipse installation into which you installed the update site. It script registers some dlls that are needed for web functional testing using Internet Explorer. It  executes tasks that are normally completed by the Parasoft installers, but are not supported by the p2 update site. This script must be run as administrator.

Mac OS Installation Using the Eclipse Installer
