For both COBOL and PowerFORM, the Runtime Installers are all that is needed
(besides your application).
For PowerCOBOL, you
need to run the Make Installer under the PowerCOBOL development environment,
and ship that installer along with the PowerCOBOL Runtime Installer.
Notes on PowerCOBOL
Runtime Installation
The Make Installer
function can be run after an application has been built. This function
is available under the File menu of PowerCOBOL.
When you run the Make
Installer under the PowerCOBOL development environment, the application
installer will be written to a subdirectory of where your application
files are being stored; for instance, if you are running in Debug mode,
the application installer will be stored in the Debug subdirectory. You
may need to set the PATH after installing the application installer and
running the Runtime Installer. If both sets of files resulting from these
installers are placed in the same directory, and you know your users will
only be running from this directory, you do not have to set the PATH.
However, if the Runtime
Installer and the application installer install into different directories,
and you are giving your users the capability to run from any directory,
should add both directories containing your application files to your
path.
Known Issues with
the PowerCOBOL Uninstaller
There is a known issue
with the V4 Runtime Uninstaller wherein it removes registry entries that
will cause you to need to re-install PowerCOBOL. If you install the Runtime
Installer on a development machine you will later need to re-install PowerCOBOL.
