You may encounter the following known issues in this release. We are working diligently to resolve them in the coming releases.
When the Beta Installer and PowerBuilder Installer coexist on the same machine, conflicts may occur. [PowerBuilder Installer refers to the official installer of the PowerBuilder major versions (such as GA) and minor versions (such as MR). InfoMaker has the same issue.]
-
When the Beta Installer is installed before the PowerBuilder Installer, attempting to download and install the PowerBuilder Installer will not be successful. This is because the version number recorded in the Beta Installer's registry is higher than that of the PowerBuilder Installer.
There are two workarounds for this issue: A) rename the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\PowerBuilder Installer Beta" folder, and then download and install the PowerBuilder Installer. B) Uninstall the Beta Installer through "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features," and then download and install the PowerBuilder Installer.

When the PowerBuilder Installer is installed before the Beta Installer, installing the Beta Installer will result in two issues: a. If there is a newer version released with the PowerBuilder Installer, when launching the Installer from the Start menu, the Installer will not detect the version update or show the upgrade dialog. b. The Installer launched from the Start menu will be the Beta Installer. If you want to run the PowerBuilder Installer, you can only run the PowerBuilderInstaller.exe from the installation directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\PowerBuilder Installer), and running this exe will delete the "PowerBuilder Installer Beta" folder in the same directory.
The workaround for these issues is to first rename the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\PowerBuilder Installer Beta" directory (for example: "PowerBuilder Installer Beta_20231121"). Then, run the PowerBuilderInstaller.exe from the PowerBuilder Installer installation directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\PowerBuilder Installer). The Installer will detect the version update and show the upgrade dialog. The "Appeon PowerBuilder Installer" shortcut in the Start menu will point to the PowerBuilder Installer's PowerBuilderInstaller.exe, until the next time you run the PowerBuilderInstaller.exe from the Beta Installer directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\PowerBuilder Installer Beta_2023112), the Start menu shortcut will be changed to point to the Beta Installer.
PowerBuilder 2022 R3 Beta has the following known issues:
-
Unable to log into PowerBuilder/InfoMaker IDE ("Invalid parameter from the client side" error occurs) when .NET 8.0 is installed on the same machine.
For solutions, please refer to this article.
-
When tabbed view is enabled, modifying the title of the sheet window in the Activate event of the sheet window or in the Clicked event of a button will cause the application to crash. (Modifying the title in the Open event of the sheet window works normally.)
-
When AutoCompleteMode is set to Suggest or SuggestAppend, if the data column and the display column are different, and if you input a value of the data column, the validation will fail (the corresponding value will not be matched and displayed as expected).
