Understanding installation directories and file names


For a deployed application to work properly, the database server and client libraries must each be able to locate the files they need. The deployed files should be located relative to each other in the same fashion as your Adaptive Server Anywhere installation.

In practice, this means that on PCs, most files belong in a single directory. For example, on Windows both client and database server required files are installed in a single directory, which is the win32 subdirectory of the Adaptive Server Anywhere installation directory.

For a full description of the places where the software looks for files, see How Adaptive Server Anywhere locates files.
