Installing InfoMaker runtime files

When you install InfoMaker, shared files that are used by both PowerBuilder and InfoMaker are installed in the Shared\PowerBuilder directory. You need to deploy a subset of these files with your application.

The following table indicates which feature each file is required to support. For example, PBVM105.DLL, PBSHR105.DLL, LIBJCC.DLL, and LIBJUTILS.DLL are required for all deployed applications. You need not install some other files unless your application uses the features indicated. You should install the runtime files in the same directory as the application or in a directory on the system path.

NoteDatabase connections The runtime files needed to enable database connections are described in “Making the data source available”.

Microsoft files

When you deploy the core InfoMaker runtime files, you must also deploy the msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries if they are not present on the user’s computer. The InfoMaker runtime files have a runtime dependency on these files.

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

The Microsoft .NET Active Template Library (ATL) module, atl71.dll, is included in PowerBuilder 10.5 to support Ink controls. If your application uses Ink controls, you must make sure that the atl71.dll is available on the target computer.

For information about obtaining and redistributing these Microsoft files, see the latest InfoMaker release bulletin.

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 InfoMaker.

The localized runtime files let you deploy InfoMaker applications with standard runtime dialog boxes in the local language. They handle language-specific data when the application runs, including:
