Conventions

Variables

Prerequisites

·        You have administration rights for your computer.

·        You have downloaded and unpacked the installation package (see Downloading and Unpacking the Software on Microsoft Windows).

Procedure

...

       1.      Open the Command Prompt and navigate to the local directory that contains the installation files:
maxdb-all-win-<32|64>bit-<arch>-<version>

       2.      Enter sdbinst to call the installation program.

       3.      The system displays the possible installation profiles. Enter the ID for the installation profile all and confirm it.

       4.      The system now checks whether there are installations of the database system already on your computer.

¡        If installations of the database system already exist on your computer, a list of these installations is displayed.
If you want to install new database software in parallel with the existing installation, enter
none. You then have the option of specifying a new installation path. Define an installation path in parallel with the existing installation paths.

¡        If there are no installations of the database system on your computer, the software components contained in the installation profile are now installed. Depending on the installation profile that you have chosen, the system may prompt you to specify the following paths:

§         Path for storing the data, configurations, and run directories of database instances and database applications (the system default value is C:\Program Files\sdb\data)

§         Path for storing the programs and libraries shared by the database instances and database applications (the system default value is C:\Program Files\sdb\programs)

§         Path for storing the server software that depends on the database version
This path must be unique. Multiple directories with different versions can exist alongside each other (the system default value is
C:\Program Files\sdb\<version>).

Enter your chosen paths or confirm the system default values.

You see a success message about the installation.

       5.      If there was no installation of the database system on your computer until now, we recommend that you now shut down and restart your computer to make the <independent_program_path> known to the system.

Result

The installation profile all of the database software is now installed and registered on your computer. You can use the log to check the result of the installation (Logging on Microsoft Windows).
