CHAPTER 1 Installing PowerBuilder Enterprise
When installing PowerBuilder, the silent install writes warnings to its log file if the setup computer does not have any of the following items: SQL Anywhere 11, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SDK or later, Microsoft IIS 5.0 or later, or AJAX Extensions version 1.0. When installing InfoMaker, the silent install includes a warning in the log file if the setup computer does not have a working copy of SQL Anywere 11.0. If SQL Anywhere 11.0 is not found, the demonstration databases and code examples are not installed for PowerBuilder or for InfoMaker.
