Getting this HANA thing started

75 Views

Okay, so I'm trying to get HANA going so I can do some work in PowerBuilder and I'm trying to follow the directions on the page

Get your own SAP HANA DB server on Amazon Web Services.

Problems come up in this part

Part 3 - Download and install SAP HANA Studio and SAP HANA Client

You can now download SAP HANA Studio Developer Edition and SAP HANA Client Developer Edition.

  • Again, make sure you are logged in.
  • Accept the License Agreement (again, make sure to read it carefully, even though you already know it) and start the download by selecting the archive you want to download and clicking the "I Agree - Download selected file" button.
  • Once the archive is completely downloaded, unpack it and run hdbsetup.exe installers.

Specifically the last step. Just what does the hdbsetup.exe do? All it seems to want to do is unpack the ZIP archive (over and over and over again). Is this all that it's supposed to do? (and if so, do you really need an 'installer' just to unpack a zip file)?
