At the DOS prompt, type d:setup and press ENTER.

An installation options dialog box appears.

Compact. Includes all components without their on-line help and examples.
Custom. Allows you to select which components and subcomponents you want to install.

5. Choose the database server root directory (the value of the INFORMIXDIR environment variable for the database server installation) as your destination directory. If you enter another directory name, a warning appears and you must re-enter the information.
