Installing Replication Server in GUI Mode

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 installation media in the appropriate drive, or download and extract the Replication Server installation image from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) or the SAP Service Marketplace (SMP).
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 the installer again, where directory_name is where the installation program writes the temporary installation files. When specifying the directory_name, include its full path.
In the Introduction window, click Next.

Specify where to install Replication Server:

Option	Description
Click Choose.	To select an installation directory. A window appears, and from that window browse for and select the directory.
Enter a new directory path.	To create a new directory.
Click Restore Default Folder.	To restore to the default directory if you do not want to use the directory that you have entered.

If the directory you chose does not exist, click Yes to create it.

If it does exist, and already contains a Replication Server installation, you are warned that you will overwrite the older version. Click Next.
The installer checks that the version you want to update is compatible with the version of Replication Server you are installing. If the version is incompatible, the Check Upgrade Incompatible Version dialog appears, and you see this:
```
Warning: The current "Sybase Replication Server" in your 
destination directory is not compatible with this version upgrade; some bug fixes may be unavailable
if you proceed. See the release note for more information.
```
You may see a similar message if your Replication Server is an out-of-band release, such as an emergency bug fix, one-off, controlled, or instrumental release:
```
Warning: The current "Sybase Replication Server" in your 
destination directory is an out-of-band release; some bug fixes may be unavailable if you proceed. 
Verify that the bug fixes you need are in this newer version before proceeding with the upgrade.
```
If you see such messages, click Cancel to stop the installation process. To override the error and continue with the installation, select Proceed installation with incompatible version and click Next.
Warning! Upgrading to an incompatible version may cause software regression. SAP recommends that you cancel the installation and obtain a compatible version of Replication Server.
Note: If you perform the installation in a silent, or unattended mode, and the versions are incompatible, the installer prompts you to rerun the installer with this argument, then quit:
```
DALLOW_UPGRADE_TO_INCOMPATIBLE_VERSION=true
```
