Selecting a version of PowerBuilder Runtime for the
PowerBuilder IDE
PowerBuilder IDE can work with multiple PowerBuilder Runtime of
different versions.
When there are more than one version of PowerBuilder Runtime
installed, you can determine which version of PowerBuilder Runtime
will be loaded by the PowerBuilder IDE. By default, the latest
PowerBuilder Runtime that is installed will be used by the
PowerBuilder IDE. If a newer version of PowerBuilder Runtime is
installed, you will be prompted to switch to the newer version and
compile the PowerScripts with the newer version when you open
PowerBuilder IDE. Or you can manually change to use a different
PowerBuilder Runtime for the IDE. The PowerBuilder Runtime will be
used by the IDE to run, debug, compile, and build the
application.
To manually change a PowerBuilder Runtime for the PowerBuilder
IDE:
-
Select Tools>System Options.
-
On the General tab, select a version from the Switch
PowerBuilder Runtime Version list. -
Restart PowerBuilder IDE for the change to take
effect.If more than one instances of IDE are running, make sure to
restart all instances.
The PowerBuilder IDE will load the runtime files according to
the specified version. If the specified version of runtime failed to
load, IDE will load the latest version of runtime that is installed
and compatible with the IDE.
PowerBuilder IDE can work with PowerBuilder Runtime at the same
or earlier versions, for example:
