pb6.5安装程序

You must have Administrator privileges to fully install this product on NT 4.0.

InstallShield
-------------
InstallShield 5.0 Free is included with PowerBuilder for Windows.  IS5Free can be used to build installable files for your PowerBuilder applications.  

Internet Explorer 4.0
---------------------
At the time PB 6.0 was released, Microsoft IE 4.0 had just been released and some compatibility issues with PowerBuilder 6.0 were identified, but it was too late to correct them. Those issues have been resolved in PB 6.5.

Migration Information
---------------------
Please read the Technical Migration Document in the \Support directory on the CD to see what behavior changes you can expect to see in PowerBuilder 6.0. This document is updated with every release candidate, and also includes information on migrating from PowerBuilder 4.0.

Online Books
------------
Online Books are now available over the web!  The URL for the DynaWeb version of the PB6 and IM6 online books is: http://calas.sybase.com.
This URL is also available under the PowerBuilder and InfoMaker Help menus.

OLE Synchronization DLLs
------------------------
Some customers have been experiencing OLE problems due to mis-matched OLE DLLs.  OLE32.DLL must be dated 1/26/97 - if you have an older version, you will experience problems.  To get the update, you may have to reinstall the OS and upgrade with appropriate MS OS service packs.  Also the DLL rpcrt4.dll must be kept in sync with ole32.dll.

Third Party Vendors using ORCA
------------------------------
The following files may be found in the ORCA folder on the CD:

		pbtapi.h
		pborca.h
		pborca.lib


Silent Install
--------------
On the Windows platform, you can create a "silent" install for PowerBuilder - one which can be set up and run without user intervention.  This is handy for system administrators.  See the documentation (Deploying your Application in Application Techniques) for further information.

DataWindow Scrollbar Operation
------------------------------
When scrolling through certain groups, two of the same Group Header with subsets of the group, re-displayed on the screen. The scrollbar operation for DataWindows was changed in 6.0.  The virtual scrolling enhancement allows any row to be at the top of a screen view (even in a group dw), and print preview scrolling to scroll from the top of the report to the bottom of the report, all in one slide.  This means that it is possible to scroll to a point that shows the bottom half of one page and the top half of the next page.  If the arrow keys or the page up/down keys are used exclusively, then the issue does not arise.  The scrollbar enhancement was added to override the navigation keys in browser context.

PBWEB.INI Cannot be found
-------------------------
The message "c:\Windows\PBWEB.INI" cannot be found is caused by an incorrect file location. The PBWEB.INI should be moved from the ..\sybase\pb6\it directory to your system directory (e.g. c:\windows).

Application path for sample 
---------------------------
The application path for the niexample is incorrect. Use the application to correct the pbl name. The correct name is niexdpbs.pbl (typically located in ..\sybase\pb6\appgal\javasamp).

Localized Deployment Kits
-------------------------
The localized deployment kits cannot be installed directly from the PowerBuilder 6.5 install. You will need to navigate to the Ldddk16 or Ldddk32 folder on the PowerBuilder 6.5 CD and run setup.exe from there.

On a 16-bit machine, the English 16-bit deployment kit must be installed from setup.exe in the Dddk16 folder on the PowerBuilder 6.5 CD. 


==================================================
Section II:    PowerBuilder Documentation Addendum
==================================================

This section contains information and known Documentation errors in the books shipped with PowerBuilder 6.0.x

Building Internet Applications with PowerBuilder
------------------------------------------------
Chapter 9 of the Building Internet Applications with PowerBuilder 
manual incorrectly states that Microsoft Internet Explorer requires
the NCompass ScriptActive plug-in. It is Netscape Navigator that
requires the NCompass ScriptActive plug-in.

This has been fixed in the online Help and the online books but is incorrect in the hardcopy book.

Chapter 9 of the Building Internet Applications with PowerBuilder 
manual provides an incorrect list of modules required by the 
PowerBuilder window ActiveX. The correct list is:
   - mfc42.dll
   - msvc42.dll
   - url.dll
   - urlmon.dll
This has been fixed in the online Help and the online books but is incorrect in the hardcopy book.

Also, to use VBScript with the PowerBuilder window ActiveX, you need
Version 2.0 (or higher) of vbscript.dll.

PowerBuilder 6.0 User's Guide
-----------------------------
Chapter 18 of the PB 6.0 User's Guide provides inaccurate information about deploying an application to a user's machine.  It says: "Setup installs the components you selected. By default, Setup installs system DLLs in the appropriate system directory for your operating system, prompting you for an action if an update fails".  

In the case of the deployment kit, we install the components under a directory called DDDK6 so that they are easily identifiable, rather than to the system directory.
