The PowerBuilder setup program lets you choose which components to install. You must install the base components. Table 1-5 lists all the components and lists the features that will be available to you when you start your edition of PowerBuilder. If you want to be able to upgrade to another edition later without running the setup program again, leave all the features you might want to use selected. If you do not plan to upgrade and want to conserve disk space, use the table to determine which features you need not install.
For more information about upgrading, see “Upgrading a local license”.
