Hi,

I have a new question about deploying an application n PowerBuilder. I'm a developer from .NET stack. In .NET Windows (WinForms/WPF) application is possible to put runtime and custom libraries in subfolders (below the image or in the attachment). 

 

For this solution we have to set the below line in an application configuration file:

 <probing privatePath="bin;packages" />

How can I do the same folders structure for application development in PowerBuilder ? Is it possible to add a probing path to ini file ?

Hello,

For PB 2019 R3 and above

Looks like you are talking about runtime file(s) path here.   You can install the runtime files, created using the utility, to a folder of your choice and put that path in an xml file.   That xml file will be created along with the exe.   Sample contents of the xml file will be like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Application>
    <RuntimePath>C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Common\PowerBuilder\Runtime 19.2.0.2703</RuntimePath>
</Application>

HTH

Happiness Always

Hi Pawel;

  Since PB is a C++ based system and not based on .Net or WPF, I am not sure what your actual question is really about.

Can you try and rephrase your question. Thanks.

Regards .. Chris

As BKR said, you can specify the PowerBuilder Runtime location. The application EXE and PBD files must be in the same folder.

Why EXE and PDB must be in the same folder? I think that I could specify the library folder without any entry in the system registry.

You can use the function SetLibraryList in the application open event to change the location of the PBD files. By default they must be in the same folder as the EXE.
