The PC-Client CD contains several products that are each packaged with their own installer. When you insert the PC-Client CD, a menu program launches automatically. The menu program presents the list of products that can be installed from the CD and allows you to install them one at a time. The major products on the CD are described in Chapter 1, “Overview.”
These are the menu selections:
View readme.txt
Install PC-Client components 15.0
Install PowerDesigner 11.1
Install PowerTransfer 15.0
Install InfoMaker 10.0
View our (Sybase) Web site
Exit
Before installing any products, review the readme.txt file, which contains a brief description of each of the products, lists dependencies, and contains any last-minute instructions or changes. You must review the readme.txt for instructions on how to install InfoMaker from CD number 2.
In general, some portion of the PC-Client components are queried by the other products so it is best to install the PC-Client components first.

Enter the directory path and click Next.
Select the type of installation to be performed.
Typical Install – installs the default components that most users need.

Customized Install – allows you to select the components to install. Certain components are automatically installed if they are required to run other selected components.
If you select Customized Install, the next window is the Component Selection window, which allows you to specify which components to install.
Components that would be installed in a typical installation appear with a check in the check box to the left of the product name. You may select or unselect components from this list.
Click Next.
The Summary window displays every component to be installed by the Installer, the required disk space, and the available disk space.
If the target directory does not have enough free space, the available space appears in red. You must either click Previous to return to the previous window and change your selections, or Cancel to quit the installer.
