About the location of the shared modules
When you install PowerBuilder, the installation process puts
the DLLs in a shared directory. The default location is: C:\Program Files\Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder.
If you want the user to be able to run the application by double-clicking the executable file, you must include the shared directory location in the system environment path.
