Installing the Server

If you have a working Adaptive Server on your system, do not install the Cluster Edition in the same $SYBASE directory. If you must install other products into the same directory, install the Cluster Edition last.

Warning!  Adaptive Server 15.5 uses InstallAnywhere for installation while past versions of Adaptive Server as well as other Sybase products use InstallShield Multiplatform for installation. These two types of installers conflict and necessary files are silently overwritten. Therefore, do not install products with these different installers in the same directory.
Warning!  If you install the Cluster Edition into the same directory as earlier versions of the same components, the Cluster Edition overwrites the older versions. Installing other products on top of the Cluster Edition will likely result in one or more of the products not working correctly.

If you perform a private installation Sybase recommends that you install Adaptive Server on each node in the cluster in its own directory.

InstallAnywhere supports 508 functionality with some limitation. Please note these limitations:
