About connecting to the host
iInstall Reborn Creator relies on the JT400 toolbox to do all the communication. In the sub-folder iInstCrt_lib is the version of JT400 that was a part of the iInstallReborn.zip you downloaded. The JT400.jar must be compatible with the version of OS/400 that your IBM i is running. For further information look at this (to come) article on the FAQ for iInstall Reborn.
