Installing in GUI mode

Sybase recommends that you use the GUI mode for installing SDK or Open Server.

Insert the SDK or Open Server CD in the CD drive. To install both products, repeat this procedure using the appropriate CD, after you install the first product.

The installer should start automatically. If it does not, select Start | Run, and enter the following, where x: is your CD drive:

x:\setup.exe

If the installer does not have sufficient temporary space to run, 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.

In the Introduction window, click Next to proceed with the installation.

Read the License and Copyright Agreement. Select the geographic location from where you are installing to display the agreement appropriate to your region. Select “I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified.” and click Next.

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

In the Choose Install Folder window, click Next to accept the default directory for the installation, or click Choose to browse through the directory and select a location for the installation. One of these occurs:

If the installation directory you chose does not exist, the installer prompts:
```
The directory <directory_name> does not exist. Do you want to create it?
```
Click Yes.
If the installation directory exists, the installer prompts:
```
Warning: You have chosen to install into an
existing directory. If you proceed with this
installation, any older versions of the products
you choose to install that are detected in this
directory will be replaced.
```
If you continue and the older products were not installed with SDK or Open Server installer (for example, if you installed a version of Adaptive Server earlier than 15.5), the installer overwrites the common files.

If you are prompted to overwrite any DLLs, which you can encounter only when DLLs being installed are older than existing DLLs, select Yes to all to avoid having mix DLL versions. The installer checks only for the date of files, and not the actual version.

Select one of the three types of installation:

Typical (default ) – installs the SDK or Open Server components considered to be useful for most customers. In this type of installation, only the U.S. English language module and its supported character sets are installed.

The components to be installed and the total disk space required are displayed prior to installation. See “SDK and Open Server components”.

Full – installs every SDK or Open Server component, including all the supported language modules from the CD.

The components to be installed and the total disk space required are displayed prior to installation. For a list of language modules you can install, see “SDK and Open Server components”.

Custom – allows you to select the components or product features for SDK or Open Server to install. The next window that appears allows you to select the components to install.

Some components are automatically installed if they are required to run other selected components.

After you have selected the installation type, click Next.

The Pre-Installation Summary window displays the product features or components to be installed and the total disk space required for all the selected features.
Verify that you have selected the correct installation type, and that you have enough disk space to complete the process. Click Install.

If you do not have sufficient available hard disk space for the components you are installing, you see an error that stops the installation.

The installation program unloads all the components from the CD and displays a progress indicator.
