This morning I was pleased to find that PB2019 R2 is available for download.
Note for who needs powerserver 32bit:
Install powerserver as 32 bit:
In previous versions of powerbuilder, if you wanted to install powerserver as 32 bit, you had to first edit the product.ini file and add this to the [Product] section:
Platform=32
This is no longer needed and different now:
- Download the offline installer
- When you install PB using "autorun.exe", don't install powerserver.
- When finished, go to the folder ...\PowerServerPBEdition-2020-2323-x86-EN and run setup.exe as administrator.
Why do we need powerserver as 32 bit install?
Because we have visual ActiveX controls made in .net which we paste on a window in the PB IDE. Since the PB IDE is 32 bit only, our ActiveX has to be 32 bit. They wouldn't work in powerserver 64 bit.
Edit: I've been told (on this same post) that I'm wrong. Things should work, even when you've pasted a 32 bit visual activex on a window in the PB IDE. I definitely have to try, but for now don't want to state the wrong thing, so strike through applied :)
Cheers
we are using on the Server Side the 64 bit Powerserver.
We also use visual 32 bit ActiveX Control.
On the Client (WebClient) the ActiveX works fine. You do not need a 32 bit powerserver on serverside to run a 32 bit ActiveX clientside.
In some cases a 32 bit ActiveX has problems to run with Powerserver but this is independent from 32 or 64 bit ps version.
Best regards
