This section describes how to install DirectConnect using InstallShield. These procedures assume that:
The target computer meets the hardware and software requirements.
You have completed the list of tasks for DirectConnect in “Pre-installation instructions.”
The installation program creates the target directory (if necessary) and loads all the selected components into that directory.
You have three options for installing Sybase components from the distribution media using the installation program:
GUI (graphical user interface) mode, which allows you to install the components using the InstallShield interface.
Console mode, which allows you to install components in a command line environment.
Response file, which allows you to record or create a response file. Using a response file, you can install DirectConnect two different ways:
Silent, which lets you install the product without any interaction required on your part. This is convenient if you are performing identical installations on multiple machines.
Interactive, which lets you install interactively but with all the responses already filled in, so that you can accept all the default values and install DirectConnect according to the responses in the response file. This can be convenient if several sites are installing DirectConnect and must conform to a standard installation.
Each of these options is described in the following sections.
If
you encounter problems during installation, check the installation
log file to see a record of the installation process. The file is
located in %SYBASE%\log.txt,
where %SYBASE% is the DirectConnect
installation directory.
