Follow these steps to install jConnect in GUI mode.
The setup program is located in the Disk1/InstData directory
on the jConnect CD. Change to this location or add the directory
to the installation command.
For Microsoft Windows, ensure that your login ID has administrative privileges. For UNIX, ensure that your login ID has write-access to the install directory.
Start the installer.
For Microsoft Windows: If you are installing from the CD, the installer should start automatically. If it does not, or if you are installing from a downloaded file, select Start | Run, and enter:
x:\path\setup.exe
where setup.exe is the executable file that installs jConnect, and x:\path\ is the path to setup.exe.
For IBM AIX, Linux, and Solaris:
cd /cdrom/cdromn/pathname ./setup.bin
For HP HP-UX:
cd /cdrom/pathname ./setup.bin
where:
cdrom/cdromn is the directory (mount-point) you specified when mounting the CD drive. For example, on Solaris the mount-point can be cdrom/cdrom0.
setup.bin is the executable file that installs jConnect.
If JDK_or_JRE_installation_directory/bin is not defined
in the PATH
environment variable, call setup.exe (Microsoft
Windows) or setup.bin (UNIX platforms)
using the LAX_VM java_binary_path argument. For
example:
Microsoft Windows:
.\setup.exe LAX_VM “C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_06\bin\java.exe”
UNIX platforms:
./setup.bin LAX_VM /work/jre6/bin/java

If the installation directory 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 contains Sybase products, 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 installed with jConnect, the installer overwrites the common files.
Choose the installation type.
Typical (default) – installs the JDBC Driver and Ribo components.
The components to be installed and the total disk space required appear before the installation executes. These components are described in “Product components”.
Custom – allows you to select the jConnect components to install. When you select Custom, the next window displayed is the Choose Install Set window, which allows you to select the components you want 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.
Review the information in the Pre-Installation Summary window. Click Install.
The installation program unloads all the components from the CD and displays a progress indicator.
Quit the installer.
In the Install Complete window, click Done.
