Files reserved for Individual users
Other writable files are installed in the default Program Files\Sybase subdirectories, but are copied to different locations the first time a user starts PowerBuilder. In this way, each PowerBuilder user gets a private copy of these files.
The following table lists the files that are copied and updated in the directories of all users who run an instance of PowerBuilder. The path variable in the table header (UserName) stands for the user name of a PowerBuilder user. For Windows XP and 2003, this is under the C:\Documents and Settings directory. For Windows Vista and 2008, this is under the C:\Users directory.
In C:\...\UserName\ subdirectory | Files copied or updated | ||
On Windows XP and 2003: |

| The locations of writable PowerBuilder files reserved for individual use are set | ||
| in HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry entries for each PowerBuilder user. For | ||
| example, the location of the PB.INI file that is copied to each user's local | ||
| application data directory is registered under the registry key | ||
| HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Sybase\PowerBuilder\11.5\InitPath. | ||
Registry changes | The setup program makes the following changes to the Windows registry: | ||

• Updates system and user paths in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
