I am using the Runtime Packager to install an application on a machine that does not have PowerBuilder installed. It doesn’t complain during the instll but hen I run the app it says that it can’t find pbvm19.dll. Can anybody help?

Wouldn't it be complaining about "pbvm190.dll" and not "pbvm19.dll"?

 

It doesn't find the dll obviously. Is the folder where it's installed in the environment PATH of windows?

Not sure if it should, since supposedly everything would be found in the registry if I'm not mistaken.

Anyway: first try to find where the pbvm190.dll is on your disk after having installed the msi with the runtime and add that folder to the beginning of your PATH. Then try again.

You can also set an "Start in" folder in a shortcut to your program, specifying where the dll is, but to be honest, it should just work without any of that.

Maybe you should run a tool like CCleaner.

I think that that 1st name of the DLL was a "type-o" by Rik. ;-)

Sure hope so, but you never know, maybe it's a message error. :) I've seen crazier stuff.

Hi Rik;

1)  Make sure that you select the correct PB App's bitness when creating the MSI in the PB Packager Utility.

2) After installing the MSI on the deployment PC. Make sure that it was allowed to modify the System Path to add the PB run-time DLL working location

3) Don't forget to manually copy the LIBxxxx.DLL's and ATLxxxxx.DLL's to the deployment PC if you do not have the VC++ run-time installed. For more information, have a look at the PB Help file's "Deployment" keyword section.

HTH

Regards ... Chris
