This section describes several administrative tasks that you must complete before you begin the installation process.
Back up your current replication system.
Log in using an account with Windows 2000/2003 administrator privileges.
Close any open applications or utilities, including currently installed Sybase components, to free disk space and system resources.
Verify that the installation directory does not have a space in the directory name.
If you are using an RSSD (not the Embedded RSSD), verify that Adaptive Server Enterprise is up and running.
