FDCC compliance

PocketBuilder 2.5.1 is certified for Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) compliance on Windows XP and Windows Vista. FDCC is a security standard mandated by the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB). To meet the FDCC security requirements, PocketBuilder can be installed only by a system administrator. However, PocketBuilder and the applications that you develop with PocketBuilder are designed to be run in a standard user context without elevated system administration privileges.

Although most PocketBuilder files install by default to Program Files\Sybase subdirectories, write access to these subdirectories is typically restricted to administrative users. Therefore, to meet the FDCC requirements, all writable files, such as the files in the Code Examples subdirectories, should be copied or installed to directories where standard users have write access.
