Installation

Download a file to an EMPTY temporary directory
Execute the .EXE file to recreate the install CD-ROM image. You can delete the .EXE file.
Write a CD-ROM or run the setup file from the temporary directory.
You can delete all files in the temporary directory after installation.
Where it says 'insert CD' below, just navigate to the directory with the CD image.

ArcSDE and ArcSDE Developer Kit for Windows

Verify that your system meets the system requirements. See the install quide on the CD for details.
Navigate to the folder named for the version of ArcSDE you want to install and double-click setup.exe. This will start the installation and postinstallation setup process. For detailed installation instructions, see the DBMS-specific HTML file on the CD (for instance, if installing ArcSDE for Microsoft SQL Server, read install_sqlserver.htm).

ESRI Software Documentation Library
Insert the CD in the CD drive to automatically start the setup program (or navigate to the setup.exe file and double-click). Follow the instructions on the screen.

ESRI client applications and server interoperability
Newer ArcSDE client applications (ArcGIS 9 and ArcIMS 9) are supported with the same or older vintage servers. However, older client applications (ArcGIS 8.3 and ArcIMS 4.0.1) are not supported with newer versionsof the ArcSDE 9 server. Direct connect support is further limited to the same vintage as your client software and host ArcSDE database. For example, if using ArcGIS 9 with direct connect to a Microsoft SQL Server, the SQL Server database must be upgraded to an ArcSDE 9 database.
