InstallShield creates the target installation directory, if it does not already exist, and unloads all selected components into that directory.
At the end of the installation, you can verify the product installation. You may need to perform additional configuration procedures before you can use Database Expert.
If you have an earlier version of Database Expert, you
must uninstall that software before you install version 15.0.2.
Refer to “Removing Database Expert components” for
instructions.
Installing Database Expert
Log in to your Windows computer using an account with Windows administrator privileges.
Free system resources and release any Sybase DLLs by closing any open applications or utilities, including currently installed Sybase products or the SySAM Manager.
WARNING! If any Sybase executables or DLLs are loaded into memory, and the installation program tries to overwrite any of the files that are in use, the installation program may generate an error and provide an error log.
Insert the Sybase Database Expert CD in the CD drive.
InstallShield should start automatically. If it does not, select Start | Run, and enter the following, where <x:> is your CD drive:
<x:>\setup.exe
Click OK.
When the Installer Welcome screen displays, click Next.
The next screen asks “What would you like to do?” Select one of the following:
Install licensed copy of Sybase Database Expert 15.0.2 – select this option if you purchased the software.
Evaluate Sybase Database Expert 15.0.2 – select this option to evaluate the software for a 30-day trial period.
Click Next.
If you selected “Install licensed copy of Sybase Database Expert 15.0.2” on the previous screen, when the license key screen displays, select one of these options:
Specify license keys – click Browse to go to the location where you previously copied the unserved license file. (Refer to “SySAM pre-installation tasks” for details.)
Use previously deployed license server – if you are using a served license, enter the Host Name and Port Number used to access the license server.
Continue installation without a license key – select this option if you do not have a license key to enter.
If you select “Specify license keys” or “Use
previously deployed license server,” the Installer verifies
whether you have a valid license.
If the Installer is unable to verify a valid license, you are allowed to continue with the installation. However, the product will stop working in 30 days, unless you obtain and install an appropriate license.
Click Next.
When the license selection displays, select your location from the drop-down list, read the license terms, click “I agree,” then click Next.
Not every country is listed in the drop-down list. If your country is not listed, select the most appropriate location.
InstallShield checks for an existing SYBASE directory structure.
If a %SYBASE% environment variable is not defined, the Install Directory window opens. The directory you enter becomes the %SYBASE% environment variable.
Enter an installation directory, then click Next.
If a %SYBASE% environment variable was previously defined, that value becomes the installation directory where Database Expert and any other Sybase required components are automatically installed. The Install Directory window does not display.
In the Install Type window, choose the installation type:
Typical – installs the required components. If Open Client™ is installed, the regular language modules are also installed.
Full – installs all components.
Custom – allows you to select optional components.
If you select a Custom installation, the Products and
Features Selection window displays. Select the products and components
to install.
Components installed in a standard installation appear with the check box selected to the left of the product name. Click to select or unselect subcomponents.
If the installer finds that a component is already installed, it displays an “installed” tag to the right of that component and the installer overwrites the current files.
Make your selections, then click Next.
The Product Selection Summary window displays the components selected for installation. Verify that you selected the correct type of installation and have enough disk space to complete the process.
Click Next to continue.
The Install Progress window shows the installation’s progress.
If an installer message asks if you want to overwrite
older versions of some files with newer versions from the product
CD, select “No to All,” unless you have a reason
for wanting older versions of the connectivity, language, or SySAM
files to be installed.
When the screen states that the installation was successful, click Next.
In you are installing a licensed copy of Sybase Database Expert, the next screen allows you to configure the SySAM e-mail alert message mechanism. At the prompt “Do you want to configure e-mail alerts?” choose:
Yes – to receive e-mail message alerts about SySAM events, then enter your e-mail messaging details.
No – if you do not want to receive e-mail message alerts regarding SySam events.
Click Next to continue.
Click Finish. The shortcut for Database Expert is placed in the Sybase directory with all other previously installed Sybase products. If this directory does not exist, it is automatically created.
If you encounter errors, refer to “Troubleshooting”.
