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

NoteOn the development computer, IIS is not required for PowerBuilder applications or components unless the same computer is used as server for smart client applications, or for Web service components. IIS is also not required on end users’ computers. For information about configuring IIS, see Deploying Components as .NET Assemblies or Web Services in the help. |
