CHAPTER 1 Installing PowerBuilder Enterprise
3On the setup program’s start page, choose to view the readme, Product Manuals Web site, or Sybase Web site, then click Exit to close the setup program.
Network install
The installation procedure presented above assumes you are installing from the PowerBuilder 11.5 DVD. If you are a system administrator, you might want to allow users to install PowerBuilder Enterprise from a network drive rather than from a DVD. To do this, copy the files from the DVD into a directory on a network drive. Users can then install PowerBuilder Enterprise by running the setup program from the network.
What the setup program does
The setup program does the following:
Files shared by all users
•Installs Sybase files in a Sybase directory
•Installs writable Sybase files to directories in
•Installs system files in the Windows operating system path
•Creates a program group and icons for each product installed
•Creates uninstall files to identify what needs to be removed if you uninstall a product
•Makes changes to the Windows registry
•Creates or updates INI files including PB.INI (for PowerBuilder) and IM.INI (for InfoMaker)
As part of its Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) compliance configuration, PowerBuilder installs writable files that are shared by all users in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder
11.5directory on Windows XP and Windows 2003, and in C:\Users\Public \Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5 on Windows Vista and Windows 2008. These files include:
•The EASDemo databases (easdemo115.db and easdemo115u.db)
•All Code Examples directories and files
•The PowerBuilder Windows Help and compiled HTML Help files
•The Translation Toolkit directories and files
