There are several reasons that the installation could be failing. You will need to check each of them:
- Do NOT install from the GA version (as mentioned in an earlier reply, it is too old). Install from the latest SP release. Besides containing the latest ASE fixes/patches, the SP installs are full installs and should take OS changes into account for the installer as well.
- Apply all O/S patches first and reboot as necessary..
- Install/patch the .Net/VC runtimes under Windows. The installation is not all Java-based and needs to do some Windows operations using the runtimes.
- Install as Administrator ('Run as Administrator' for 'setup.exe'). Windows UAC may be preventing you from updating some PATHs and adding the ODBC, etc drivers to the system.
- Make sure you have correctly defined 'localhost' as 127.0.0.1 in your 'Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts' file. The setup spawns subprocesses that talk to the parent as they progress and complete, that use ports on 127.0.0.1. Not having this properly defined has caused issues in the past, but this may not be your case, based on the logs.
Also remember to NOT receive email notifications from SySAM. First, Windows does not have a built-in email server ('.local') that you have selected. Secondly, you are installing the Developer license, and not a server. Any email you would receive would be from the SySAM server about license issues for an enterprise installation, so just say 'No'.
