Installing Replication Server with the GUI Wizard

The installer creates the target directory and installs the selected components into that directory.

Prerequisites

Verify that the drive on which you install the Replication Server has enough disk space for the components being installed, and at least 100MB of extra disk space for the installation program.

Task

Insert the Replication Server media in the appropriate drive, or download and extract the Replication Server installation image from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC).
Launch the setup program.
If the installer does not start automatically, double-click setup.exe or select Start > Run and enter the following, where x is your CD or DVD drive:
```
x:\setup.exe
```
If there is not enough disk space in the temporary disk space directory, set the environment variable TMP to directory_name before running it again, where directory_name is the name of the temporary directory to which the installation program writes the temporary installation files. When specifying the directory_name, include its full path.
