I am trying to automatically build a powerbuilder executable in github actions when a release tag is created.

 

name: Build and Attach to Pre-release

on:
  push

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: windows-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
                
      - name: Install MSI Package 2 
        run: |
          $file = "PBCLTRT 22.2.0.3397.msi" 
          $log = "install.log" 
          $procMain = Start-Process "msiexec" "/i `"$file`" /qn /l*! `"$log`"" -NoNewWindow -PassThru
          $procLog = Start-Process "powershell" "Get-Content -Path `"$log`" -Wait" -NoNewWindow -PassThru 
          $procMain.WaitForExit() 
          $procLog.Kill()
        
          
      - name: Upload MSI Log
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4 # Use the latest version
        with:
          name: install 
          path: ${{ github.workspace }}/install.log 
      
           
      - name: Run PBAutoBuild210.exe
        shell: cmd  
        run: |
          cd C:\
          PBAutoBuild220 /f ./ebadmin.json /l deploy.log /le error.log /lu unsupport.log

      - name: Upload Build Artifact
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: build-artifacts
          path: ./build/ebadmin_Installer.exe

 

I start by trying to install an MSI package for the Powerbuilder Runtime, and then try to run the AutoBuild.

The Runtimes install successfully, but the PBAutoBuild fails because it can't find the Runtime. 

20:07:13 [Normal] PBAutoBuild Version: 22.2.0.3397.
20:07:13 [Normal] Work Path: D:\a\EBAdmin\EBAdmin\pbautobuild220.exe.
20:07:13 [Normal] Runtime Version: 22.2.0.3397.
20:07:13 [Normal] Start processing parse json to model code segment.
20:07:13 [Error] Failed to find the Runtime version specified in the file.
Bye (-_-)

 

The one thing I am noticing is when running the MSI package, The runtimes are being installed here:

But there are located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Common\PowerBuilder\Runtime 22.2.0.3397 on my local machine. Is this causing me the issue? Can I override the MSI package and or PBAutoBuild220 to change the runtime locations?

I tried to call a function on a DLL which written by a VC++,... Reading class editsource at Runtime
