    After investigation, it turns out the cause is that the initialisation file, PB.INI is in an area I did not have permissions to.

    There are two solutions. Log in with an account with Administrator priveliges or change the location of the PB.ini file. The PB.ini file location can be changed in the registry by adding/editing the following registry key:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sybase\PowerBuilder\10.0]
    InitPath="NEW LOCATION of PB.INI e.g. C:\DevTools\PB10"
