This might be the reason it's looking for the runtime folder on someone else's machine?

It might be during the deploy, I need to point this to the same folder of the executable?

Thank you for responding; I had already copied the below into the executable area, however, I had NOT copied the contents of the runtime folder in there....yet at least.

Hello, so if a user on another machine (who does not have PowerBuilder installed) gets the below error, it's because the runtime folder is not on their particular machine.

 

The fix is to copy or install the runtime folder onto their machine?

or you can simply copy the runtime dlls into the same folder as the EXE

it could not be any easier.  all the runtime dlls are in the runtime directory for the runtime version specified:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Common\PowerBuilder\Runtime <yourversion>

this is new starting with PB 2019 R3

Hi Ravi;

  This is fully documented in the PB Help file. Just search for the keyword "deployment" and then follow the link to the "runtime" list of files.

   The other alternative is to use the PB Packager utility to create an installable MSI file that contains the necessary runtime DLLs.

   The new way in PB2021 that you can also try is using the new PowerClient feature. This allows the App & runtime DLLs to be deployed & maintained from a single web server.

HTH

Regards ... Chris
