Software Requirements – PB Docs 2019

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 installer, and
whether you need to install SQL Anywhere or PostgreSQL before
installing PowerBuilder. If you select a feature with a
prerequisite that is not yet installed, the installer displays
a warning message.

.NET Web services local host deployment
(Obsolete)

Microsoft Internet Information
Services (IIS) 7.5 or higher.

PowerBuilder tutorials, demo databases, and sample
applications

SQL Anywhere 12 thru 17 or PostgreSQL
10, 11, or 12.

A 32-bit ODBC driver is required as PowerBuilder IDE is
a 32-bit program.

If you want to use the PostgreSQL engine, make sure both
the PostgreSQL client (included in Command Line Tools of the
PostgreSQL
Windows installer) and PostgreSQL ODBC driver (32-bit)
are installed.

If the installer does not detect SQL Anywhere or
PostgreSQL on your computer, it displays a warning. If you
choose to continue, the installer does not install the
tutorials or register the demo databases. To use these
features later, install SQL Anywhere or PostgreSQL first, then
reinstall PowerBuilder.
