Folks - we are trying to do our first build releases under the new Appeon PB17 and need some feedback on runtime environment. With the old SAP/Sybase PB12, we were, I'm pretty sure, able to put exe + pbd's in a folder, and just plop all the PB runtime dll's into the folder with the build and the exe would run (provided db connections and everything were ok via ini file, etc), whether a PB IDE install was on the box or not.
From trying this sort of operation with the new Appeon PB, it is looking more and more like the full PB IDE install needs to be done (including resulting registry entries), for any build to run on that box. Can anyone confirm/deny this is the case? We are trying to avoid having to set up the IDE in every prod box we're distributing to, if possible. A list of minimal runtime dll's to allow a build to run would be very nice, if there's a link to it on the site here or whatever.
thanks much!

All - pretty much have the situation solved, I used the Runtime Packager to make an .msi file and it filled the bill except for one thing, see attached Word doc with shots, etc. I'm wondering if or how I can get the packager to bundle the addl ATL100.dll in with all the other files, it is the only one missing that our apps (an other people's?) needs. Thanks!
