Files reserved for
Individual users
Other writable files are installed in the default Program Files\Sybase
subdirectories, but are copied to different locations the first time a user starts
PowerBuilder. In this way, each PowerBuilder user gets a private copy of these
files.
The following table lists the files that are copied and updated in the directories
of all users who run an instance of PowerBuilder. The path variable in the table
header (UserName) stands for the user name of a PowerBuilder user. For
Windows XP and 2003, this is under the C:\Documents and Settings directory.
For Windows Vista and 2008, this is under the C:\Users directory.
The locations of writable PowerBuilder files reserved for individual use are set
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry entries for each PowerBuilder user. For
example, the location of the PB.INI file that is copied to each user's local
application data directory is registered under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Sybase\PowerBuilder\11.5\InitPath.
