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.

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 installation 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 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, InstallShield 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 15.0 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 15.0), InstallShield overwrites the common components.

WARNING! Do not install into an existing pre-15.0 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.

If you install both SDK and Open Server software in the same directory, you may see warnings about overwriting newer versions of *.h files. In these cases, simply instruct the installer to overwrite these files and proceed with the installation.

Select one of the three types of installation:

Typical (default ), which installs the SDK or Open Server components considered to be useful for most customers. In this type of installation, only the U.S. English language module and its supported character sets are installed.

The components that will be installed and the total disk space required are displayed prior to installation. These components are described for SDK in “SDK and Open Server components”.

Full, which installs every SDK or Open Server component including all the supported language modules from the CD.

The components that will be installed and the total disk space required are displayed prior to installation. For a list of language modules you can install, see “SDK and Open Server components”.

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 downloads. Click Finish to clear the window.
