What version of the PB runtime are you using on the Windows Server 2008 R2 machine?

Although listed as a supported runtime environment for PB 2019 R1,

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019/release_bulletin_for_pb/ch01.html

Windows Server 2008 R2 is no longer shown as a supported runtime environment for PB 2019 R2:

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r2/release_bulletin_for_pb/system_requirements.html

or for the 2019 R3 Beta:

Hi Pau;

  From the PB 2019 Rx help ...

If the current operating system is Windows Server 2003, 2008, or 2008 R2 (or if the “Windows classic style” option is selected when building the application), the ApplyTheme function will not take effect and will return -1.

Note1: PB 2019 R2 and higher no longer supports W2008 / R2.

Note2: PB 2019 R3 and higher no longer supports W7.

Regards ... Chris

Hello Chris,

I don't have the "Windows classic style" activated on my application. What I do not understand is if it lets me run the application why the theme does not apply.



Using PB 2019 R2 and deploying on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Hi Paul ... It's an "OR" situation. Whether using the Classic style or running on W2008 - then the theme feature is *not* supported.

Hi Chris,

You said: "Note2: PB 2019 R3 and higher no longer supports W7 as well".

Would there be anything that "already" doesn't work on W7 when using pb 2019 R3?

Regards

Did you copy the correct runtime DLLs and your UI Theme file?

Hello Armeen,

Yes I did, the same folder with the aplication is deployed on other devices and working well. But when I run it on this with (Windows Server 2008 R2) the aplication runs but don't applies the theme.
