Preparing for Installation

Ensure that the host on which you are installing Sybase Mobile SDK meets the system requirements and is ready for you to begin the installation.

  1. Verify that the target system meets the system requirements for Sybase Mobile SDK.
    See Supported Hardware and Software.
  2. Verify that you have Administrator privileges on the installation target host.
  3. If the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable is set, remove it before you start Unwired Platform installation.
    Check for the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable in both User variables and System variables panes of the Environment Variables dialog.
    1. Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
    2. Select the Advanced tab, then click Environment Variables.
    3. Select JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS and click Delete.
    4. Click OK to exit all dialogs.
  4. If there is an earlier version of Sybase Mobile SDK installed on the same computer where you are installing this version, back up any workspace directory trees used by Unwired WorkSpace.
    Although installing this version of Mobile SDK does not overwrite those files, you should create backups that have only been opened in the earlier version. If you open an earlier version project in the later version of Mobile SDK, you are committed to migrating the project to the later version. Backups keep open the option to go back to the earlier version.
