Installing the PBVM in EAServer

This topic describes how to install the PBVM on EAServer.

Deploying PowerBuilder 12.5 components to EAServer requires a set of PowerBuilder 12.5 runtime files called the PowerBuilder virtual machine (PBVM), which must be installed on the same computer as EAServer. The PBVM setup program, available in the PBVM directory on the DVD, installs the required files.

To install the PBVM on EAServer:

  1. Run the setup.exe program in the PBVM directory on the PowerBuilder 12.5 DVD.
  2. On the Choose Destination Location page, click Next if the default destination location is correct, or click Browse to navigate to the directory where EAServer is installed; then click Next.
  3. On the Choose Destination Location for Shared Files page, click Next if the default destination location is correct, or click Browse to navigate to the directory you specified in Step 2 or to the Sybase\Shared directory; then click Next.
    The setup program installs the PBVM in a PowerBuilder subdirectory of the directory you select, installs the Web DataWindow and debugger components in the Repository directory, and exits.
