im really new to powerbuilder classics IDE and creating an installer package gives me a hard time. my questions is
- Does PowerBuilder has a Painter for that specific action?
- Can I include the PB runtime DLLs in that MSI/Installer file
- Can i create an installer for PowerBuilder using NSIS? its a really cool installer but i dont know how to compile the PB reference files and suchs.
may you all enlighten me!
notes: i have used incremental build/full build and deploy function in PB but no MSI files has been generated
There is a program PBPACK###.EXE (### = PB version) located in the ...\Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder folder. There should have been a shortcut added when PB was installed.
It will create an msi file but only for PowerBuilder runtime files. It will not include your application files.
I use Inno Setup. It only creates install exe, not msi. http://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php
