The PC-Client CD contains several products that are each packaged with their own installer. When you insert the PC-Client CD, a menu program launches automatically. The menu program presents the list of products that can be installed from the CD and allows you to install them one at a time. The major products on the CD are described in Chapter 1, “Overview.”
There are 7 selections on the menu:

Install PC-client components 12.5.1
Install PowerDesigner 9.5.2
Install PowerTransfer 9.5.2
Install InfoMaker 9.0

Before installing any products, review the readme.txt file, which contains a brief description of each of the products, lists dependencies, and contains any last-minute instructions or changes.
In general, some portion of the PC-client components are queried by the other products so it is best to install the PC-client components first.

Iinstalling client products on Windows
Verify that your computer has sufficient RAM for each product.
If you are unloading components on Windows, log in using an account with Windows administrator privileges.
Close any open applications or utilities to free memory and system resources.
Insert the PC-Client CD in to the drive. The menu program should start automatically.
Alternatively, you can start the menu program from the Windows Start menu, select Start | Run, and enter:
X:\autorun.exe
where X is your CD drive.
Select Install PC Client Components 12.5.1 from the menu.
When InstallShield starts, it prompts you for an installation directory. Click Next.
Select the type of installation to be performed.
Typical Install – installs the default components a user needs.
Full Install – installs every component on the CD.
Customized Install – allows you to select the components to install. Certain components are automatically installed if they are required to run other selected components.
If you select Customized Install, the next window is the Component Selection window, which allows you to specify which components to install.
Components that would be installed in a typical installation appear with a check in the check box to the left of the product name. You may select or deselect components from this list.
Click Next.
The Summary window displays every component to be installed by the InstallShield Installer, the required disk space, and the available disk space.
If the target directory does not have enough free space, the available space appears in red. Clicking Next without sufficient hard disk space results in an error and stops the installation.
Click Next.
If the target directory does not exist, InstallShield prompts: “OK to create directory?” Click Yes.
InstallShield installs the components and displays a progress indicator.
