=============================
Section I: Before you install
=============================
Beginning with the 12.0 release, PowerBuilder installs with two separate 
IDEs. The familiar PowerBuilder IDE is rebranded as PowerBuilder Classic. 
The new IDE is named PowerBuilder .NET.

To install PowerBuilder .NET you first need to install Microsoft .NET 
Framework 4.0 that you can download from the Microsoft
Web site. The Visual Studio isolated shell 2010 and its Service Pack 1 
are required for PowerBuilder .NET IDE. If you have an active Internet
connection, you can install both of them through installing PowerBuilder .NET 
Prerequisites in PowerBuilder setup program.  If you prefer, you can also install
the isolated shell and its Service Pack 1 manually from the Support folder in the 
PowerBuilder installation ZIP file before you run the PowerBuilder setup program.

This Beta release is available as a set of zip files on the download 
page of the PowerBuilder 12.5 beta Web site:

CommonInstaller.zip           Common setup program
SQLAnywhere12.zip             SQL Anywhere 12.0 
InfoMaker125.zip              InfoMaker 12.5 Beta 
PowerBuilder125.zip           PowerBuilder 12.5 Beta  
PBVM.zip                      Contains setup program for PBVM  
Support_PB.zip                Contains supporting tools      

PowerBuilder and InfoMaker must be installed from the common setup 
program. You can also install SQL Anywhere from the common setup program.

On 64-bit platforms, you must select the 32-bit driver manually when 
installing SQL Anywhere 12.0. PowerBuilder 12.5 does not connect 
SQL Anywhere 12.0 with the 64-bit driver.

Before you run the common setup program to install this release of
PowerBuilder 12.5, read this section carefully and make sure that
you have installed any required software.

Supported operating systems
---------------------------
This release has been tested on Windows XP with Service Pack 3,  
Windows Vista Business Edition with Service Pack 2, Windows 7 
with Service Pack 1, and Windows 2008 with Service Pack 2 (only for PowerBuilder runtime).  

Required software
-----------------
For software requirements for existing features, refer to the 
installation guide for PowerBuilder 12.0 at 
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=
/com.sybase.help.infocenter.pb.12/title.htm


The use of .NET tools, the ADO.NET database interface, and .NET
Web services requires the Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.0.

The PowerBuilder .NET IDE requires .NET Framework 4.0. 
It also requires the Visual Studio isolated shell 2010 and its Service 
Pack 1. The PowerBuilder setup program can install
these for you, but you must have an active connection to the 
Internet to enable the setup program to install .NET Framework 4.0.  

This release has been tested with SQL Anywhere 12.0. EAServer is 
not compatible with the PowerBuilder .NET IDE. You can deploy components 
to EAServer from the PowerBuilder Classic IDE only.

Installing the PBVM
-------------------
If you install EAServer on a different computer from PowerBuilder, you
also need to install the PowerBuilder 12.5 version of the runtime DLLs 
(PBVM) required by the components you are using on that computer. To 
install the PBVM on a computer on which EAServer has already been 
installed, you can run the PBVM setup program on that computer from 
the PBVM directory extracted from PBVM.zip.

=====================================
Section II: Running the setup program
=====================================
You must have Administrator privileges to fully install this product.

1. Shut down any programs that are running.
   
2. If you want to use features that require SQL Anywhere, or
   Internet Explorer, install them before you install PowerBuilder.
   
   If you select SQL Anywhere in the common setup program, it is 
   installed before PowerBuilder and InfoMaker.  
   
   NOTE: You must shut down any earlier versions of SQL Anywhere 
   or Adaptive Server Anywhere engines that are running before
   installing SQL Anywhere 12.0.

3. Run the common setup program, select the components you want to
   install, and follow the instructions in the setup wizard.
  
4. When the common setup program completes, reboot your computer.

After installing, make sure that you have write access to the 
PowerBuilder 12.5 installation directory and to the Windows Registry.
