Step 3: Registering the administration tools with Windows

You must set the following registry values for the administration tools. The names of the registry values are case sensitive.

  • In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\Sybase Central\6.0.0

    • Language   The two-letter code for the language used by Sybase Central. This must be one of the following: EN, DE, FR, JA, or ZH for English, French, German, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, respectively.

  • In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\SQL Anywhere\11.0

    • Location   The fully-qualified path to the root of the installation folder (C:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 11 by default) containing the Sybase Central files.

    • Language   The two-letter code for the language used by SQL Anywhere. This must be one of the following: EN, DE, FR, JA, or ZH for English, French, German, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, respectively.

On 64-bit Windows, these registry entries are in the 32-bit registry (SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sybase).

Paths should not end in a backslash.

Your installer can encapsulate all this information by creating a .reg file and then executing it. Using our example installation folder of c:\sa11, the following is a sample .reg file: 

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\Sybase Central\6.0.0]
"Language"="EN"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\SQL Anywhere\11.0]
"Location"="c:\\sa11"
"Language"="EN"

Backslashes in file paths must be escaped by another backslash in a .reg file.
