The PC-Client CD contains several products that are each packaged with their own installer. When you insert the PC-Client CD, a menu program launches automatically. The menu program presents the list of products that can be installed from the CD and allows you to install them one at a time. The major products on the CD are described in Chapter 1, “Before You Start.”
These are the menu selections:

Install PC-Client components 15.0.3
Install PowerDesigner® 12.5
Install PowerTransfer 15.0.3
Install InfoMaker 11.5
View our (Sybase) Web site
Exit
Before installing any products, review the readme.txt file, which contains a brief description of each of the products, lists dependencies, and contains any last-minute instructions or changes.
It is best to install the PC-Client components first, because other products use PC-client components.

If you are using ODBC, OLE DB or ADO.NET Drivers, then
you must have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 installed
on your system. The installer produces errors during installation
and the drivers do not function without this service pack installed.
To check whether you have this service pack installed:
Open Add or Remove Programs item from the Control Panel. If NET Framework is listed under the Currently installed programs then you do not need to update your system.
Installing PC-Client Components on Windows
The PC-Client CD contains PC-Client Components, PowerDesigner, PowerTransfer, and InfoMaker. Each product is separately installable. The PC-Client Components are also installed as part of the Adaptive Server installation.
WARNING! If PC-Client Components have been installed during the Adaptive Server installation, do not re-install them, and do not install them in a different directory.
WARNING! PC-Client now contains 32-bit and 64 bit SDK. It installs 32-bit SDK on 32-bit OS; and 64-bit SDK on 64-bit OS. If your 64-bit OS computer already has the 32-bit SDK/Adaptive Server, you must run the 32-bit PC-Client installer in the "pcclient32" folder.
PC-Client Components are provided so they can be installed on client computers. You may install PowerDesigner, PowerTransfer, and InfoMaker on the same computer as Adaptive Server.
Verify that your computer has sufficient disk space for each product.
If you are unloading components, log in using an account with administrator privileges.
Close any open applications or utilities to free memory and system resources.
