Officially it's unsupported (I think 8.0.2 is the first XP-supported
version of PB) but I used to work at a place where they weren't having any
trouble using 6.5 on XP.

Windows XP is not a supported platform. Actually PB 6.5 is no longer
supported on any platform. PB 8.0.3 is the first version of PB to have
support for XP.

That said I believe some have been able to run PB 6.5 on XP and run
their applications on XP, but again it is not supported.

PB 7.0.3 is first release to support Win2k. PB 8.0.3 is first to support
WinXP. There is a distinction between supported and working on the platform.
Many have had no problems running PB6 (and earlier) releases on both Win2k
and WinXP. Others have encountered problems. If you do encounter issues, you
will be forced to work around them.

BTW
PB 6.x is not supporeted on any platform at this point.

I have no problem running on Windows XP the applications compiled by
PowerBuilder. However I have problem building the project
on Windows XP. Anyone has any suggestion on how to build a project
in Windows XP.
