Before you install PowerBuilder Enterprise, you need to perform the following tasks:
Read the release bulletins for the latest information on the products that you are installing. Pay close attention to the “Special Installation Instructions” section.
Release bulletins for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker are available in the product package on the Getting Started CD.
Release bulletins for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker are also available on the Product Manuals Web site. The release bulletins at this site sometimes contain more recent information than the bulletins on the Getting Started CD.
A readme.txt file for SQL Anywhere is available in the SQLAnywhere11 directory on the DVD.
Make sure the drive where you install PowerBuilder Enterprise is not compressed. If compression is enabled on the installation drive, the setup program fails.
Make sure you have a TEMP environment variable that points to an existing directory location with at least 300MB free space. The setup programs write files to this directory during the installation and free the space after the installation is complete.
Close any open applications.
Back up your files. See “Backing up your files”.
Read “Required software for PowerBuilder features” to determine whether you need to install any software before installing PowerBuilder 11.5.
