you need to either:

• put the runtime files in the same directory as your PB exe (and not bother distributing the xml file)
• -or- create the directory listed in the xml file (the path you listed) and put the runtime there.

Hi Magesh;

  Deployment is different in PB 2022 as follows:

1. The App EXE project will create an <AbbName>.XML file inthe folder where it build the App's EXE file
2. You should use the PB Packager utility to create an install MSI for the PB runtime.
3. Make sure that the MSI runtime matches the bitness of your PB App EXE.
4. Install the runtime MSI  on the deployment machine.
5. Copy the PB App and the <AppName>.XML file to the deployment folder.
6. Edit the XML file to ensure that it reflects the proper location of the PB runtime.

Hi, Magesh -

Use the Runtime Packager tool (shown below) to create an installation MSI:

Best regards, John

Create a file called <program_name>.xml where <program_name> is the same as your exe and place the xml file in the same folder. The contents should look like this and point to the folder where the PB runtime is located.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Application>
    <RuntimePath>C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Common\PowerBuilder\Runtime 22.0.0.1892</RuntimePath>
</Application>

Thanks for the reply Smith



I've stored the new runtime files for PB 2022 in a separate folder and set the correct path in PB before creating the executable.



However, I'm encountering an error when I click 'Build and Deploy Project'. Do you know what could be causing this?

Will it cause any issue in user's machine?
