The installer and uninstaller cannot set environment variables, and therefore fail, in Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 2008, and Windows 7 on x86 64-bit.
Workaround: In Windows Explorer, right-click setup.exe or setupConsole.exe and select Properties. On the Compatibility tab, select Windows XP compatibility mode.
After installation, make the same compatibility mode change to the uninstaller:
%SYBASE%\sybuninstall\SCCSuite\uninstall.exe

If you are upgrading Sybase Control Center, Sybase recommends that you shut down the earlier version before installing the new version.
When the installer configures HTTP, HTTPS, and RMI ports, it checks to see if the port numbers provided are in use. If the earlier version of Sybase Control Center is running when you install the new version, you cannot use the same ports in both versions. It is necessary to configure different ports only if you plan to run the two versions of Sybase Control Center simultaneously, which is not recommended.

The Installation Guide topic Registering the ODBC Driver explains how to use the Run as Administrator setting in Windows Vista the first time you launch Sybase Control Center.

You can use nohup, &, and > to run Sybase Control Center in the background and redirect output and system error to a file. Sybase recommends that you do this from the Sybase Control Center bin directory. Starting Sybase Control Center this way disables the console.
Here are two sample commands that direct output to the file scc-console.out. If the output file already exists, you might need to use additional shell operators to append to or truncate the file.
cd <SCC-install-dir>/bin; nohup ./scc.sh 2>&1 > scc-console.out &
cd <SCC-install-dir>/bin; nohup ./scc.sh >& scc-console.out &
See the Installation Guide or the online help for other methods of starting Sybase Control Center.
