Transaction not connected - PB.NET deployment

[former_member329524]

Hello, all

I am sure people have encountered this issue already, but I cannot find a specific answer to this deployment issue.

A PB.NET (12.5.2) app works fine in the test environment. The test environment is a server machine with full SQL Anywhere 16 installation.

When I try to deploy the app to a client machine (Win7 with SQL Anywhere client install) the app does not even load the ODBC driver. There are no errors in the event log and the sql error on connect is "Transaction not connected" (code -1).

PB Runtime is installed on both machines.

Update: Apparently, the server machine had the VS shell installed for debugging of a separate .NET app.

When I installed the VS shell on the deployment machine everything started working.

So, the question changes: Obviously, it is inconceivable to install VS shell on all deployment machines.

Does anyone have a small installation of just the required components for deployment?

Thank you

I believe you also posted this in the PowerBuilder Developer Center and the question is being addressed there.
