What a server installation does

A typical server installation installs server components to separate directories on the host machine.

Parent installation directory

The default installation directory is C:\Sybase. You can, however, specify another target directory during installation if you use the interactive GUI installer, or by changing the silent installation script if you perform a silent install.

The parent installation directory contains subdirectories, scripts, and property files required to support Sybase IQ. This document uses the variable %SYBASE% to refer to the parent directory. A list of the major subdirectories you are likely to use during installation appears in the table below.
