Product: PowerBuilder 2022 R2, Build 2819 (GA offline installer)
Environment: Windows Server/Client (Intune-managed endpoint), previous PowerBuilder version was deployed with IDE-only footprint successfully
Issue Description:
We are attempting to silently install only the PowerBuilder IDE component (without SnapDevelop, PowerServer Toolkit, .NET DataStore, etc.) using the offline GA installer package for PowerBuilder 2022 R2 Build 2819.
Commands attempted (all fail with the same error):
silentinstall.bat "opt=PB" "dir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon" "log=C:\Windows\Temp\pb_install.log"
silentinstall.bat "opt=PBRT" "dir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon" "log=C:\Windows\Temp\pb_runtime_install.log"
silentinstall.bat "opt=PB/PBRT" "dir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon" "log=C:\Windows\Temp\pb_install.log"
Sequential install — Runtime first (opt=PBRT, successful, followed by system reboot), then IDE (opt=PB) — still fails
Error observed on console:
PowerBuilder is installing ...
Error: code=-2147213312
Log file content (%TEMP%\PBC_2022R2_SilentInst.log):
[InstallShield Silent]
Version=v7.00
File=Log File
[ResponseResult]
ResultCode=-3
What works: silentinstall.bat "opt=All" ... completes successfully and installs the full suite (PowerBuilder IDE, Runtime, Utilities, PowerServer Toolkit, SnapDevelop IDE, .NET DataStore).
Our requirement: Our organization only needs the classic PowerBuilder IDE (and its required Runtime) for our developers — not SnapDevelop, PowerServer Toolkit, or .NET DataStore. Our previous PowerBuilder version was deployed successfully with just the IDE component, so we expect the same should be achievable with 2022 R2.
Does the GA offline installer's bundled setup.iss response file support partial/component-specific silent installs (opt=PB, opt=PBRT, or combinations), or is opt=All the only supported option for this specific build (2819)?
Is there a known issue or patched installer package that resolves ResultCode=-3 for partial component silent installs on Build 2819?
Is there a recommended silent install method to get IDE-only (or IDE + Runtime only) for PowerBuilder 2022 R2, similar to what was possible in earlier PowerBuilder versions?
