Nuts and Bolts: The Tutorial
Let's look at this process in detail. We'll start with an existing PowerBuilder application. For demonstration purposes, we'll choose to perform the most simplistic of ongoing modifications. The background color of the static text control of the "About" window will initially be red. We'll follow an RGB progression throughout this course of action.

This first sequence will have us use PowerBuilder 11 to deploy our application as a WinForm application, publish it, then have the User download and install it. We'll then modify the application, publish it, and then have the users' client automatically detect the new version, download, and install it.

Basic Usage of the Intelligent Updater
First, we'll open the workspace of an existing PowerBuilder application, in this case we'll use a code example delivered with beta 2 of PowerBuilder 11 (MarketingSample). We'll want to create a new .NET Windows Forms Application target.

In the "Create the application" wizard window, we'll choose "Use the library list application object from an existing target."

In the next window, we'll select the only target available "mss" and we'll accept the default name and location for the target file (*.pbt) in the next window. For the purposes of this illustration, we'll choose not to create the Project object with this wizard, and then choose "Finish" on the last wizard window.
