9. Check for registry issues

• For older versions (PowerBuilder 10–12), check:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\PowerBuilder\12.5\Runtime
  

• Ensure RuntimeRoot and DLLPath are correct.
• For newer versions (2017+), use Appeon’s deployment tools.

Check Case Sensitivity:

• .exe
• .pbd (PowerBuilder dynamic libraries) or .dll (if using PBDs)
• .pbr (if used)
• Required runtime DLLs (e.g., pbvm125.dll, pbrtc125.dll, libjcc.dll, etc.)
