PBVM190.dll deployment PB19

Where can I find PBVM190.dll? Is there an msi file to register the dll on client computers?

Hi William;

  The "PB Packager" utility will package the PBVM190.dll and other run-time DLL's for you into an MSI in order for you to deploy with your PB App(s).

Hi William,

Open Windows search and look for "PowerBuilder Runtime Packager"

Please consult the Runtime Packager documentation here: https://docs.appeon.com/appeon_online_help/pb2019/application_techniques/ch35s02.html

PowerBuilder runtime files don't have to be registered. The only time you have to register a DLL is if it implements a COM interface.

If you don't want to use the Packager, you can find the files here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Shared\PowerBuilder

There is a Runtime Files topic in the help that will tell you which files are required.

Hi William;

   Should be listed from the O/S "Start" => "Appeon PowerBuilder 2019" => "PowerBuilder Runtime Packager"  system menu sequence.

Regards ... Chris

Thanks Miguel and Mike,

We have our exe and runtime separate. Our folder structure is C:\CSPROD\PBEXEC for the production EXE, PBD, etc. C:\CSPROD\PBDLLS for the runtime. Our shortcuts that we generate automatically do have the Start in set to C:\CSPROD\PBDLLS although we also put that folder in the path so that the apps will run if a user creates their own desktop shortcut or simply double-clicks on the exe from explorer.



Miguel, Regarding the Start In, if under the C:\CSPROD\PBDLLS if create subfolders for the various runtimes, i.e. "Runtime 19.2.0.2556", "Runtime 19.3.0.1234", etc. where do I point my Runtime to C:\CSPROD\PBDLLS or to the specific runtime "C:\CSPROD\PBDLLS\Runtime 19.2.0.2556"?

Hi Armeen, I appreciate your time and the additional information. PowerClient certainly might be an option, although I am thinking that it would be enough of a sea change that we would probably like to experiment with it after getting ourselves ported over to PB2019 from PB2017, rather than tie our migration to its adoption. Good information though.

Yes, makes total sense to first get upgraded before implementing anything new.

I guess we're going to have people asking this same question over and over again until everyone has migrated or everyone has read the release notes.

Not meant as an offence to anyone, and maybe Appeon could have done something to avoid people asking this same question over and over... Like, I don't know, an informational warning message when installing the new version that the naming of DLLs have changed to no longer include any version numbers.

Not blaming this on Appeon either, people should read the release notes, though myself I've been guilty many times of not doing that, since there weren't many changes in powerbuilder at this kind of level in the past 20+ years.

regards.

How about we do a pop-up message read the migration guide? https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r3/upgrading_pb_apps/ch04s01.html

Every time you upgrade app to a newer version of PB the developer should be going through this guide to make necessary adjustments.

LOL, yes not a bad idea, but just for the important stuff maybe. Have them read all (or scroll all the way down to the end), before they can continue the install.

Sad thing though, people would just do ctrl+end and click install without reading anything.

We aren't putting the runtime DLLs on that page any longer starting from PB 2019 R3. There is separate runtime installer now. https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r3/application_techniques/ch09s02.html#Installing_PowerBuilder_Runtime
