Installing in GUI mode

The following steps are required to perform the installation in GUI mode.

StepsInstalling in GUI mode

  1. Mount the CD and “cd” into the directory as described in the previous section “Mount the CD.”

  2. Verify that the drive on which you install the products has enough disk space for the products being installed, and at least 10MB extra disk space for the installation program. The program frees this space after the installation is complete.

    If InstallShield does not have sufficient temporary space to run, it will prompt you to set the -is:tempdir parameter, which should be set to the absolute path of a directory that has sufficient space, for example:

    ./setup -is:tempdir tmp_dir
    

    where tmp_dir is the default temporary directory, which varies by platform. Sun Solaris and HP use /var/tmp, Linux uses /tmp, and the remaining UNIX platforms use the C runtime library constant P_tmpdir.

  3. At the UNIX prompt, start InstallShield:

    This unloads the components in GUI mode. The Welcome window appears next.

  4. Click Next to proceed with the installation.

  5. Read the License and Copyright Agreement. Using the drop-down list at the top of the window, select the geographic location where you are installing to display the agreement appropriate to your region. Select “I agree” and click Next.

    You must agree to the license and copyright agreement before you can continue.

  6. In the Installation Directory window, click Next to accept the default directory for the installation, or enter a different directory where you want to install the products. One of the following occurs:

  7. Select one of the three types of installation:

    After you have selected the desired components, click Next.

    Before proceeding to the next window, InstallShield verifies the selections, and checks for dependencies and available disk space. The Product Summary window displays every component that is to be installed and the total disk space required for all the selected components.

    NoteIf the target directory does not have enough free space, the space-required and the space-available information is displayed. If you click Next without sufficient hard disk space, an error occurs that stops the installation.

  8. Verify that you have selected the correct type of installation, and that you have enough disk space to complete the process. Click Next to continue the installation.

  9. The installation program unloads all the components from the CD and displays a progress indicator. When the installation is complete, a message is displayed indicating that the InstallShield Wizard has completed installing your product. Click Next.

  10. A window displays a message indicating that the installation was successful and advising you to check for software updates on downloads. Click Finish to clear the window.
