Required software for PowerBuilder features

Table 1-3 lists the software required for PowerBuilder Enterprise features. Some of this software is installed automatically when the feature is installed.

Read this table carefully to determine whether you need to install any software before you run the PowerBuilder setup program, and whether you need to select SQL Anywhere before you select PowerBuilder. If you select a feature that has a prerequisite that has not been installed, the setup program displays a warning message.
