Installing in GUI mode

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

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.

Set the TEMP environment variable to a temporary directory, such as c:\temp for the installation program to use, only if the current temp location does not have sufficient free space to use during installation. The TEMP directory is actually from %TMP%, and if this does not exist, from the %TEMP% directory.

Insert the SDK or Open Server CD in the CD-ROM drive. If you want to install both products, repeat this procedure using the appropriate CD, following the installation of the first product.

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

x:\setup.exe

You might see the following error message:

Error writing file =  There may not be enough temporary disk space. Try using -is:tempdir to use a temporary directory on a partition with more disk space.

If so, set the temporary directory to another directory that has more disk space by entering the following at the command line:

x:\setup.exe -is:tempdir <directory_name>

where directory_name is the name of the temporary directory to which the installation program will write its temporary files.

The Welcome window appears.

Click Next to proceed with the installation.

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.

In certain cases when SDK or Open Server 12.5.1 are installed with other Sybase products, you may see warnings about overwriting newer versions of *.xml files. In these cases, simply instruct the installer to overwrite these files and proceed with the installation.

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:

If the installation directory you chose does not exist, InstallShield prompts:
```
The directory does not exist. Do you want to create it?
```
Click Yes.
If the installation directory exists, the software prompts:
```
You have chosen to install into an existing directory. Any older versions of the products you choose to install that are detected in this directory will be replaced. DO NOT install into a pre 12.5.1 ASE release area as this will break ASE. Do you want to continue with installation into this directory?
```
If you click Yes and the older products were not installed with InstallShield (for example, if you installed a version of Adaptive Server earlier than 12.5.1), InstallShield overwrites the common components.

WARNING! Do not install into an existing pre-12.5.1 ASE release area; this will cause ASE to not be able to reboot.

If you are prompted to overwrite any DLLs, select Yes only if the version of the new DLLs is later than the one it is attempting to overwrite.

Select one of the three types of installation:

Typical, which installs the SDK or Open Server components considered to be useful for most customers. The components that will be installed and the total disk space required will be displayed prior to installation. These components were described for SDK in “SDK and Open Server components”.
Full, which installs every SDK or Open Server component from the CD. The components that will be installed, and the total disk space required will be displayed prior to installation.
Custom, which allows you to select the components for SDK or Open Server to install. When you select Custom install, the next window displayed is the Component Selection window, which allows you to select which components to install.

Be aware that certain components are automatically installed if they are required to run other selected components.

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.

If 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 installation.

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. 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.

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