PowerBuilder Runtime Packager error: Linking Msi for PowerBuilder.NET runtime get an error

I've just installed PowerBuilder 11.5. I'm trying to use the PowerBuilder Runtime Packager that comes with it to create an MSI with the PowerBuilder runtime DLLs. But when I hit create, about a third of the way through I get the error "Linking Msi for PowerBuilder.NET runtime get an error." (The poor English is verbatim.)

This happens both when I select "PowerBuilder Standard Components" and when I select "PowerBuilder .NET Components"

Does anyone know how to fix this?

As an aside, if XML is selected, I get an error about APACHE_LICENSE.TXT is missing. But I'm not worried about that right now.

Solution

  • Check that PB can find msvcr71.dll, msvcp71.dll (Visual C++ runtime) and atl71.dll (.NET Active Template Library).

    Failing that, reinstall PB and try again.
