Microsoft files
When you deploy the core PowerBuilder runtime files, you must also
deploy the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries, if they are not
present on the user’s computer. The PowerBuilder runtime files have a
runtime dependency on these files. See Third-party components and deployment for
more information.

Installed path
%systemdrive%Program Files
(x86)AppeonCommonPowerBuilderRuntime [version].
The Sybase DLLs are installed to %AppeonInstallPath%PowerBuilder
22.0DotNETin.
The Sybase.PowerBuilder.DataWindow.Excel12.dll file will be
automatically installed to the Windows GAC folder, for example,
C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETassemblyGAC_MSILSybase.PowerBuilder.DataWindow.Excel12,
if you run the MSM or MSI package. However, if you manually copy runtime
DLLs to the client (instead of using the MSM or MSI package), make sure
to copy the Sybase.PowerBuilder.DataWindow.Excel12.dll file to the same
directory as the application executable, as this file is a C# assembly
DLL and cannot be loaded through the environment variable.
Deployment path
Same directory as the application, in a directory on the system
path, or in the App Path registry
key.
Registry entries
Localized runtime files
Localized runtime files are provided for French, German, Italian,
Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish. These files are usually
available shortly after the general release of a new version of
PowerBuilder. The localized runtime files let you deploy PowerBuilder
applications with standard runtime dialog boxes in the local language.
They handle language-specific data when the application runs.
