Chapter 1: Installing PocketBuilder

Installation procedure

The installation procedure that follows assumes you are installing from the PocketBuilder CD. If you are a system administrator and your site has multiple licenses, you might want to allow users to install PocketBuilder from a network drive instead. To do this, copy the files from the CD into a directory on a network drive. Users can then install PocketBuilder by running the setup program from the network.

You must have administrative privileges to fully install this product. If you are installing PocketBuilder for other users, make sure those users have write permission for the PocketBuilder 2.0 directory and the Windows registry.

StepsTo install PocketBuilder:

  1. Exit any programs that are running.

    If you do not, the setup program might not be able to copy some files to the appropriate directories.

  2. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive and double-click the setup.exe program from the root directory if the Sybase PocketBuilder Install wizard does not start automatically.

  3. On the License Agreement page, select your country or region, read the license, select the radio button to agree to the terms of the license, and click Next.

    NoteBack and Next Use the Back and Next buttons to step backward and forward through the wizard to modify specifications as necessary.

  4. On the Setup Type page, select the type of setup you want, accept the default folder location or browse to the folder where you want to install PocketBuilder, and click Next.

  5. If you selected Custom, clear the check box on the Select Components page for any component that you do not want to install and click Next.

    If you elect to install SQL Anywhere 9 in a Custom install, or if you select a Complete install, the setup program automatically starts the installation program for SQL Anywhere after installing PocketBuilder files.

  6. On the Start Copying Files page, review your settings, then click Next to install the PocketBuilder files (or click Back to change your selections).

  7. On the Deploy to the Device page, select one of the three deployment options and click Next.

    The three deployment options are:

    To install PocketBuilder directly to a device, you must have Microsoft ActiveSync installed and running on the desktop computer and the device, and the device must be connected. For the setup program to create desktop Start Menu links for deploying PocketBuilder to a device, you must have ActiveSync installed.

    If you want to install PocketBuilder to a device at a later time without using the Start Menu links, or to deploy PocketBuilder to an emulator, you can manually copy CAB files generated by the setup program. For more information, see “Copying files to a device or emulator”.

    NoteSmartphone device and emulator considerations For a Smartphone device with a limited amount of available space, you might need to copy the PocketBuilder VMs manually rather than using the Start Menu links or manually copying the CAB file. Even if you install PocketBuilder to a mounted storage card, unpacking the CAB file requires temporary space in the main storage area.

    If you do not have a file management program on your Smartphone device or emulator, you can copy the CAB file to the \Storage\Windows\Start Menu\Accessories folder. You can then display the CAB file by selecting Accessories from the Start menu and unpack the CAB file by pressing (on the Smartphone device) or clicking (on the Smartphone emulator) the Action button.

    The setup program copies the required files to the device, then displays the Application Downloading Complete dialog box.

    If there is no device connected, the setup program installs a Windows CE setup program in the PocketBuilder 2.0\WinCE directory. This setup program is launched automatically the next time the device is connected.

  8. If you selected an option to install to a device in the previous step, click Yes at the prompt to install PocketBuilder to the default directory.

    If a message box displays on the device, tap OK (Pocket PC) or press the Action button (Smartphone) to complete the installation.

  9. Unless you selected a Custom installation in step 5 and cleared the check box to install Adaptive Server Anywhere in step 6, the SQL Anywhere 9 setup program starts.

    Follow the directions in “Installing Adaptive Server Anywhere”.

  10. On the first InstallShield Wizard Complete page, choose whether to read the Readme file and click Finish.

  11. On the second InstallShield Wizard Complete page, select whether to restart your computer now or later, remove the CD from the CD-ROM drive, and click Finish.

    You need to restart your computer only if you installed ASA from the setup program.
