- BEFORE INSTALLING POWERBUILDER
-
- 1. IMPORTANT: If Microsoft Windows is installed in a write-protected network
- directory, a person with write privileges to the Windows directory must install
- this product.
-
- 2. Review the Product Release Notes, if any, for special instructions pertaining to
- the installation of this product.
-
- 3. Be sure that no Powersoft products or the Watcom SQL engine are running.
-
-
- TO INSTALL POWERBUILDER
-
- 1. Insert the diskette labeled "Disk 1 of 5" into the floppy drive of your computer.
-
- 2. Run the SETUP program on the diskette. You can do this in one of three ways.
- (This example uses Drive A, however, your floppy drive may be a different letter.)
-
- * From the DOS prompt, type: WIN A:\SETUP
- * From Windows Program Manager, choose File/Run and type: A:\SETUP
- * From Windows File Manager, double-click on the SETUP.EXE file on Drive A.
-
- 3. Below is a brief description of what is installed when you make your selections:
-
- * PowerBuilder Enterprise Edition: Includes all files necessary to run the
- Powersoft PowerBuilder development environment. When installing this
- selection, the PowerBuilder ODBC Database driver and initialization file,
- PBODB030.DLL and PBODB030.INI, are installed in the PowerBuilder
- directory.
- * Sample Application: Files that provide a collection of examples which
- demonstrate PowerBuilder features. Although this is optional, we
- recommend that you install it.
- * PowerBuilder Sample Database: Installs the PowerBuilder Demo Database
- and Database Log files. This is a prerequisite when installing the Sample
- Application.
- * WATCOM SQL: Installs files to run WATCOM SQL in the PowerBuilder
- environment. This option is required when installing the Sample
- Application.
- * Open Database Connectivity Drivers: Based on your selections, the
- appropriate vendor ODBC drivers are installed in your Windows system
- subdirectory (for example, c:\windows\system).
-
- 4. The installation procedure will prompt you:
-
- * When the procedure needs the next diskette or more information, or when
- it requires a decision to change or replace files. Respond to the prompts
- and select options as appropriate.
-
- * When the procedure finds existing Powersoft initialization (*.INI) files in
- the target directory or newer versions of ODBC drivers in your Windows
- system subdirectory, such as ODBC.DLL and ODBCINST.DLL. If you are
- unsure as to how to proceed, we suggest that you consult your system
- administrator for direction.
-
- * When the procedure is ready to update your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. You can
- choose to let the installation procedure change the existing file, create a
- new file for you, or proceed without making any file changes.
-
- * When the procedure is ready to add the PowerBuilder and WATCOM
- program items to a Program Manager group. You can choose to let the
- installation procedure create the Program Group and add the Program
- Items. To familiarize yourself with the Program Items, we strongly
- recommend that you allow this installation procedure to create the
- Program Group, and delete any unnecessary Program Items afterwards.
-
- 5. Exit to DOS and verify that the Powersoft directory(s) is included in your DOS
- PATH command. This will happen automatically if you let the installation
- procedure update your AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the previous step.
-
- 6. Re-boot your PC and start Windows.
