Before you install PowerBuilder Enterprise, you need to perform the following tasks:
Read the release bulletins for the latest information on the products that you are installing. Pay close attention to the “Special Installation Instructions” section.
Release bulletins for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker are available at the Sybase Product Manuals Web site.
Release Bulletins for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker are also available in the product box on the “Getting Started” CD.
A readme.txt file for Adaptive Server Anywhere is available in the ASAnywhere9 directory on Disk 1.
Make sure the drive where you install PowerBuilder Enterprise is not compressed. If compression is enabled on the installation drive, the setup program fails.
Make sure you have a TEMP environment variable that points to an existing directory location with at least 300MB free space. The setup programs write files to this directory during the installation and free the space after the installation is complete.
Close any open PowerBuilder Enterprise applications.
Back up your files. See “Backing up your files”.
Read “Required software for PowerBuilder features” to determine whether you need to install any software before installing PowerBuilder 10.5.
If you already have PowerBuilder Enterprise products installed on your computer, follow the instructions in “Updating PowerBuilder Enterprise products”.
