Before you install DataWindow .NET, you need to perform the following tasks:
Read the release bulletin or readme file for the latest information on the products that you are installing. Pay close attention to the “Special Installation Instructions” section.
The release bulletin for DataWindow .NET is available at the Sybase Product Manuals Web site. It is also available in the product box on the “Getting Started” CD.
A readme.txt file for Adaptive Server Anywhere is available in the ASAnywhere9 directory on the CD.
Make sure the drive where you install DataWindow .NET is not compressed. If compression is enabled on the installation drive, the setup program fails.
Make sure you have a TEMP environment variable that points to an existing directory location with at least 70MB free space. The setup programs write files to this directory during the installation and free the space after the installation is complete.
Close any Visual Studio .NET or .NET Framework applications or tools.
Read “Backing up your files” if you plan to use libraries created in Sybase PowerBuilder or InfoMaker with DataWindow .NET.
Read “Required software for DataWindow .NET features” to determine whether you need to install any software before installing DataWindow .NET 2.0.
If you installed a DataWindow .NET beta release
Before you install DataWindow .NET 2.0, you must remove all
the beta software from your system from the Windows control panel,
as described in “Uninstalling a product”. If you do not remove the beta
software, the setup program prompts you to do so before continuing
with the installation.
If you installed DataWindow Designer, manually delete the easdemodb.log file in the DataWindow Designer 2.0 directory.
