PowerBuilder 2025 R2 introduces the following optimizations to improve the deployment, management, and security of PowerClient-deployed applications:
-
Provide built-in support for Windows authentication, so apps can use the Windows login that users already entered when signing in to their computers. For more, refer to the section called “Integrating with Windows authentication” in Users Guide.
-
The Cloud App Launcher supports multilingual resources. Developers can choose which language to use for both installation and runtime. For more, refer to the section called “Customizing and uploading cloud app launcher” in Users Guide.
-
Developer can increment the launcher version when creating a customized package of Cloud App Launcher, so that the launcher will automatically upgrade. For more, refer to the section called “Customizing and uploading cloud app launcher” in Users Guide.
-
Both applications and the Cloud App Launcher (standard version) are now installed under
%localappdata%by default (in the previous versions, Cloud App Launcher (standard version) is installed under%localappdata%while applications are installed under%appdata%). -
Support silent uninstall for application:
%localappdata%\PBApps\Applications\localhost_salesdemo_local\Uninstall.exe /q
