PB 2019 GA

I have a question about the file Sybase.PowerBuilder.DataWindow.Excel12.dll.

Customers have reported that SaveAs Excel12 result in an abort. It appears that the file needs to be installed into the .Net GAC and we didn't do that in our installer (InstallShield).

My question is what version of the .Net Framework is required?

The PB Help topic on runtime files doesn't mention the GAC or the .Net Framework. The topic on the Packager mentions the GAC but the reference to the Framework seems to be talking about what is required to use the packager.

Hi Roland,

you don't need to install the DLL in GAC.

We had same problem with our installation. We had installed all runtime DLLs in a directory that we added to the PATH variable. In this case the Excel12 export doesn't work.

Now we install the Sybase.PowerBuilder.DataWindow.Excel12.dll in the same directory as the application. All other runtime files we have still in the old directory. Now the export works!

HTH,

René

Hi  Roland,

 

The SaveAs Excel12(XLSX!) functionality requires.NET Framework 4.0 or later, you can refer to the link below for more details.
