To ensure your application connects properly with the database using ADO.NET, you must package and distribute the .NET Desktop Runtime and the PowerBuilder runtime files along with your application.
-
.NET Desktop Runtime 8.0
.NET Desktop Runtime 8.0 must be installed to the client to support the ADO.NET database connection.
You will have to manually package and distribute .NET Desktop Runtime. (Make sure the platform (32-bit or 64-bit) of .NET Desktop Runtime matches that of the application executable file.)
-
PowerBuilder runtime files
Besides .NET Desktop Runtime, you will also need to package and distribute the PowerBuilder runtime files, either in an automatic or manual way.
To package the files manually, go to the PowerBuilder Runtime location and get the files according to the table in this section.
To package the files automatically, select the database type in the Runtime Packager so that the packager can automatically package the files according to the database type.
-
Custom driver files
The custom driver files and the related dependencies should be distributed alongside the application. For more information, refer to xxxx.
