Chapter 2: Installing Database Expert

Installing Database Expert using InstallShield

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.

To install Database Expert:

  1. Log in to your Windows computer using an account with Windows administrator privileges.

  2. 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.

  3. Insert the Sybase Database Expert CD in the CD drive.

  4. InstallShield should start automatically. If it does not, select Start | Run, and enter the following, where x: is your drive:

    x:\setup.exe
    

    Click OK.

  5. 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.

  6. InstallShield checks for an existing SYBASE directory structure.

  7. In the Install Type window, choose the installation type:

    Make your selections, then click Next.

  8. 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.

  9. The Install Progress window shows the installation’s progress. When the installation finishes, click Next.

  10. The Sybase Software Asset Management License Server window opens and displays this prompt:

    Will licenses be obtained from the License Server?
    

    Select:

    If you select “Yes” and the license server is not found, or you select “No” and the local license file is not installed on your local machine, this message displays:

    Installer can’t check out a license. Do you want to continue with a license?
    

    Click Yes to complete the installation. If you select No, this message displays:

    Please remember to download and install the license file after this installation. 
    

    Click OK to return to the beginning of step 10.

    NoteSee “Choosing the appropriate license server configuration” for information on which choice is appropriate for your installation.

  11. Click Finish.

    NoteThe 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 any errors, refer to “Troubleshooting”.
