Hello, I apologize if this was asked/answered (I didn't find it with a quick search).
With the new PB 2019 beta, what runtime files need to be deployed, and where are they by default?
I know the IDE was separated from the runtime, and that's likely part of the issue here. I can see files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Common\PowerBuilder\Runtime 19.2.0.2556, but instead of the expected PBVM190.dll (for example), I see PBVM.dll.
What I need to know is if I build a test app with the new beta, and deploy the EXE to another machine - what beta DLLs need to be deployed with it? Will the version # be permanently dropped from future DLLs?
Thanks!
John
As a quick test, rename ...
c:\program files (x86)\appeon\common\PowerBuilder\runtime 19.2.0.2556 // to
c:\program files (x86)\appeon\common\PowerBuilder\runtime 19.2.0.2556_XX
Now try and run the R3 beta IDE. It will probably not be able to start.

There is now a ticket open on the PB Packager utility. Not only does it not point the install to the wrong (old Shared folder), it doesn't allow you to pick the PB Runtime that you really need. It only assumes the release (build) number and ignores the PB IDE settings. :-(
So the only workaround for now is what you did or override the install PB runtime location to match the where the XML file thinks it is.
We still have the build number issue though in the PB Packager.
