Identify the software requirements for PowerBuilder.
| Feature | Required Software |
|---|---|
| The following table lists the software required for PowerBuilder features. Install any required framework packages and SDKs before you install PowerBuilder. Microsoft developer software is available from the Microsoft Download Center. Read this table carefully to determine whether you need to install any software before you run the setup program, and whether you need to install SQL Anywhere before installing PowerBuilder. If you select a feature with a prerequisite that is not yet installed, the setup program displays a warning message. |
|
| .NET target development and deployment | Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.0, Visual Studio
2010 SP1. This required software can be automatically installed for you during PowerBuilder installation. See Starting the Common Setup Program. |
| .NET Windows Forms smart client deployment and update and support for OLE controls in Windows Forms | Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.0. For design time only, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 Software Development Toolkit (SDK). |
| WCF Client, REST Client, and Web Service DataWindow in PowerBuilder .NET | Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.0. For design time only, Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4.0, referred to elsewhere in this document as .NET Framework 4.0 SDK. |
| WPF smart client development and update | Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.0. For design time only, .NET Framework 4.0 SDK. |
| .NET Web Forms development and deployment and .NET Web services local host deployment | Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 or higher. Note: On the development computer, IIS is not required for PowerBuilder applications or components unless the same computer is used a server for Web Forms or smart client applications, or for Web service components. IIS is also not required on end users’ computers.
For information about configuring IIS, see Deploying Applications and Components to .NET in the help.
|
| .NET Web Forms development and deployment | Telerik RadControls. .NET Web Forms use RadControls to display and provide functionality for the Tab, TreeView, and Toolbar controls. If you choose to install the .NET Web Forms feature, this software is installed automatically. RadControls are automatically deployed with your Web Forms applications to deployment computers or servers. |
| PowerBuilderand and InfoMaker tutorials, demo databases, and sample applications | SQL Anywhere 12 or later. SQL Anywhere is available on the DVD. If the setup program does not detect SQL Anywhere 12 or later on your computer, it displays a warning. If you choose to continue, the setup program does not install the tutorials or register the demo databases. To use these features later, install SQL Anywhere first, then reinstall PowerBuilder, InfoMaker, or both. |
| MobiLink™ synchronization | Adaptive Server® Anywhere 9.0.2 to SQL Anywhere 12. MobiLink is a component of Adaptive Server Anywhere and SQL Anywhere. In the SQL Anywhere setup program, select Synchronization and Messaging, and then MobiLink. |
| EAServer component and Web DataWindow development and deployment | EAServer 6.3.1. Run the setup program in the PBVM directory on the DVD to install runtime files and the Web DataWindow server component in EAServer. See Installing the PBVM in EAServer. |
| EJB client development | EAServer 6.3.1, or another J2EE-compliant application server such as BEA WebLogic 8.1 and later, or IBM WebSphere 6.x.
