PowerBuilder runtime files

NoteDatabase connectivity Files required for database connectivity are listed separately in “Database connections”.

Core runtime files

Table 37-4 lists the core PowerBuilder runtime files.

Table 37-4: Core PowerBuilder runtime files

Name

Required for

pbvm115.dll

All.

pbshr115.dll

All. pbvm115.dll has dependencies on this file.

libjcc.dll

All. pbvm115.dll has dependencies on this file.

libjutils.dll

All. libjcc.dll has dependencies on this file.

pbdwe115.dll

DataWindows and DataStores (for .NET applications, use pbdwm115.dll instead).

Microsoft files

When you deploy the core PowerBuilder runtime files, you must also deploy the msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries and the Microsoft .NET Active Template Library (ATL) module, atl71.dll, if they are not present on the user’s computer. The PowerBuilder runtime files have a runtime dependency on these files. See “Third-party components and deployment” for more information.

Microsoft Windows GDI+ is the subsystem of the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating system that implements enhanced graphic capabilities for screens and printers. The PowerBuilder runtime files have a runtime dependency on gdiplus.dll. If you deploy your PowerBuilder application to the Windows 2000 platform, you must make sure that gdiplus.dll is available on the target computer.

Additional runtime files

Table 37-5 lists additional runtime files that your application might not require. For example, pbvm115.dll is required for all deployed applications, but pbrtc115.dll and its associated runtime files are required only if your application uses Rich Text controls or RichText DataWindow objects.

For more information about deploying applications that use the pbjvm115.dll for Java support, see “Java support”.

Installed path \Program Files\Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder or, for most of the required rich text files, \Program Files\Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder\RTC.

Deployment path Same directory as the application, in a directory on the system path, or in the App Path registry key.

Registry entries See “App Path registry key”.

Localized runtime files

Localized runtime files are provided for French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish. These files are usually available shortly after the general release of a new version of PowerBuilder. The localized runtime files let you deploy PowerBuilder applications with standard runtime dialog boxes in the local language. They handle language-specific data when the application runs.
