Fewer DLLs /Libraries --------------------There are fewer DLLs (libraries on non-Wintel platforms) than there used to be f or InfoMaker. Functionality has been combined, and you can now deploy an applica tion with as few as 1 DLL (PBVM60.DLL), but realistically, you'll probably use t hree ... PBVM60.DLL, PBDWE60.DLL (for DataWindow functionality) and one DLL for whichever database you are using. Installing on NT4.0 ------------------You must have Administrator privileges to fully install this product on NT 4.0.

Internet Explorer 4.0 --------------------At the time PB 6.0 was released, Microsoft IE 4.0 had just been released and som e compatibility issues with PowerBuilder 6.0 were identified, but it was too lat e to correct them. Those issues have been resolved in PB 6.5. ODBC Updates -----------If you download Microsoft's updated ODBC files (ODBC version 3.50.3308) for use with PowerBuilder or InfoMaker, please be aware that they have not been fully t ested with our products, and results may be unpredictable. Online Books -----------Online Books are now available over the web!

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 experi ence 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 s ync with ole32.dll. Silent Install -------------On the Windows platform, you can create a "silent" install for InfoMaker - one w hich can be set up and run without user intervention. This is handy for system administrators.
