Both Sybase Central management tools—the Replication Server plug-in to Sybase Central, Windows Edition, and the Replication Manager plug-in to Sybase Central, Java Edition—can be installed on your Windows client machines using InstallShield. The PC-Client CD contains both plug-ins.
You can also install the Replication Manager plug-in to Sybase Central, Java Edition, on your UNIX machine from the Server CD using InstallShield. Follow the instructions in “Installing Replication Server”.
You cannot install software from the PC-Client CD on your UNIX machine. Instead, install Sybase Central, Java Edition, from the Server CD.
WARNING! If any Sybase executables or DLLs are loaded into memory, the installation program tries to overwrite any of the files that are in use. To prevent this, close any Sybase products in use and restart the installation.
Installing Sybase Central
on your PC
Verify that the drive on which you install the products has enough disk space for the products being installed. Set the TEMP environment variable to a temporary directory, such as c:\temp. The installation program uses the extra space and directory to write files temporarily during the installation. The installation program frees this space after the installation is complete.
Insert the PC-Client CD in the CD drive.
InstallShield starts automatically. If it does not, double-click setup.exe or select Start | Run, and enter the following, where x: is your CD drive:
x:\setup.exe
You might see the following error message:
Error writing file = There may not be enough temporary disk space. Try using -is:tempdir to use a temporary directory on a partition with more disk space.
If so, set the temporary directory to another directory that has more disk space by entering the following at the command line, where directory_name is the name of the temporary directory to which InstallShield will write its temporary files:
This directory should have at least 100KB of disk space.

If the installation directory you chose does not exist, InstallShield prompts:
The directory does not exist. Do you want to create it?
Click Yes.
If the installation directory exists, the software prompts:
You have chosen to install into an existing directory. Any older versions of the products you choose to install that are detected in this directory will be replaced. Do you want to continue with installation into this directory?
If you click Yes, and:
The products were installed with Studio Installer (for example, if you installed a version of Replication Server plug-in earlier than 12.6) – InstallShield overwrites common components.
The products were installed with InstallShield – InstallShield determines the correct course of action without prompting you.
If you are prompted to overwrite a DLL, select Yes only if the version of the new DLL is later than the one InstallShield is attempting to overwrite.
If you chose Typical, InstallShield displays the following default components for a Typical installation:
Connectivity

If you chose Custom, select the components you want to install.
Click Next.
InstallShield installs the components on the hard drive and displays a progress indicator.
If you do not have enough disk space for the installation, InstallShield
displays an error message. In this case, exit InstallShield, remove
any programs or files that you do not need, and clean out temporary
directories. Then, restart InstallShield.
The Installation Complete window displays, verifying that Replication Server PC-Client software is now installed.
