This topic describes changes that the setup program makes to your system.
The setup program:
As part of its Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) compliance configuration, PowerBuilder installs writable files that are shared by all users. On Windows XP, the shared directory is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder 12.5. On Windows Vista and Windows 2008, the shared directory is C:\Users\Public \Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder 12.5, and on Windows 7, it is C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder 12.5.

For Windows XP, the UserName directory is under the C:\Documents and Settings directory. For Windows Vista and 2008, it is under the C:\Users directory.
