According to the documentation for PowerBuilder 2022 R2 Build 2819, the following runtime files are required for WebBrowser support:

 

pbwebbrowser.dll, webbrowserapi.tlb, and "PBWebView2" folder

"PBWebView2" folder is required for WebView2 Runtime Fixed Version.

 

I can't find a PBWebView2 folder in any of the usual installed locations. Did the installer fail, or was this requirement removed from the latest R2 release?

The Application properties window can also set the Evergreen/Fixed option. This seems to be the only place where the download URL is mentioned.

Thanks, Roland. I hadn't even gotten around to poking around the IDE. Was just doing a quick migration of an existing 2022 app to 2022 R2 and was packaging it for runtime testing when I noticed the "missing" PBWebView 2 folder.

The WebBrowserSet control method can be used to switch between Evergreen and Fixed. The help doesn't really spell it out but Evergreen means it uses the version included with Windows and Fixed is a version installed with the application.

This is from the 'PowerBuilder runtime files' help topic:

Hi Ronnie,

the PBWebView2 folder is the folder of the fixed version.

  1. Download the desired fixed version at: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/
  2. The folder which is in the archive can then be extracted and renamed as PBWebView2.

I hope I could help you

Regards Tobi

Hi Tobi,



Thank you for your response, and for the link. I'm curious why this information is not provided in the documentation.

Hi Ronnie,



FYI. The following link talks about WebBrowser (the new WebView2 engine).
