Installing DirectConnect in GUI mode

The following describes the DirectConnect installation process in GUI mode.

If you are only installing DirectConnect for Oracle, follow the instructions in Chapter 6, “Installing DirectConnect for Oracle.”

To install in GUI mode

Verify that the drive on which you will install the products has enough free disk space for the products being installed, and at least 10MB extra disk space for the installation program. The program frees this extra space after the installation is complete.

Insert the Enterprise Connect Data Access (ECDA) CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

InstallShield should start automatically. If it does not, select Start | Run, and enter the following, where x: is your CD drive:

x:\setupwin32.exe

The Welcome window appears. Click Next to proceed with the installation.

You may see the following error message:

Error writing file =  There may not be enough temporary disk space. Try using -is:tempdir to use a temporary directory on a partition with more disk space.

If so, set the temporary directory to another directory that has more disk space by entering the following at the command line:

x:\setupwin32.exe -is:tempdir <directory_name>

where directory_name is the name of the temporary directory to which the installation program will write its temporary files.

Read the License and Copyright Agreement. Using the drop-down list at the top of the window, select the geographic location where you are installing DirectConnect to display the agreement appropriate to your region. Select “I agree” and click Next.

You must agree to the license and copyright agreement before you can continue.

In certain cases when DirectConnect is installed with other Sybase products, you may see warnings about overwriting newer versions of files. In these cases, simply instruct the installer to overwrite these files and proceed with the installation by selecting Yes to All.

In the installation directory window, click Next to accept the default directory for the installation, or enter a different directory where you want to install DirectConnect. One of the following occurs:

If the installation directory you chose does not exist, InstallShield prompts:
```
The directory does not exist. Do you want to create it?
```
Click Yes.
If the installation directory exists and contains files, the software prompts:
```
You have chosen to install into an existing directory. Any older versions of the products you choose to install that are detected in this directory will be replaced.
```
You will not see this message if the directory exists but is empty.

If you are prompted to overwrite any DLLs, select Yes only if the version of the new DLL is later than the one you are attempting to overwrite.

Select one of the two installation types:

Sybase recommends that you select the Custom install.

Full, which installs all DirectConnect products and components from the CD, including DirectConnect for Oracle.
Custom, which allows you to select the DirectConnect options and components to install.

Click Next.

When you select Custom install, the next window displays all the ECDA options “unchecked” and all the components “checked” or selected. You must select at least one option from the following list and “uncheck” or deselect the components that you do not want to install:

ECDA Option for DB2 UDB
ECDA Option for Informix
ECDA Option for Microsoft SQL Server
ECDA Option for ODBC
ECDA Option for Oracle

Be aware that if you deselect a component that is required, it is automatically installed if it is needed to run other selected components.

After you have selected the options and selected the desired components, click Next.

Before proceeding to the next window, InstallShield verifies the selections, and checks for dependencies and available disk space. The Product Summary window displays every component that is to be installed and the total disk space required for all the selected components.

If the target directory does not have enough free space, the space-required and the space-available information is displayed. If you click Next without sufficient hard disk space, an error occurs that stops the installation.

Verify that you have selected the correct type of installation, and that you have enough disk space to complete the process. Click Next to continue the installation.

The installation program unloads all the components from the CD and displays a progress indicator. When the installation is complete, a message appears indicating that the InstallShield wizard has completed installing your product. Click Next.

If your installation does not include DirectConnect for Oracle, proceed to the next step.

However, if you selected a Full install or a Custom install that includes DirectConnect for Oracle, the next window that appears will request whether you want to configure the DirectConnect for Oracle server.

If you choose not to configure DirectConnect for Oracle at this time, uncheck the box and proceed to the next step.
If you choose to configure DirectConnect for Oracle at this time, follow the instructions for configuring DirectConnect for Oracle starting with step 10, located in Chapter 6, “Installing DirectConnect for Oracle.”

A window displays a message indicating that the installation was successful and advising you to check for software updates. You are also advised to enter Software Asset Management Certificates by running the tool, C:\%SYBASE%\%SYSAM-1_0%\bin\lmgr. Click Finish to clear the window.
