Windows SDK for .NET Framework 4.0 or higher must be installed.

I have installed PowerBuilder 12.6. for about 3 times and still have the same problem.

I have installed all the prerequisites

For testing purpose I use a win32 application from "tutorial"   with PowerBuilder 12.6 classic.

I have successfully created a

1) .NET Windows form "Target"

2) .NET Windows form "Project" for a smart client application

3) I can deploy  the application without any problem

4) I can run the application  without any problem

My problem is when I try to "publish" the application

I have a message saying:

"Windows SDK for .NET Framework 4.0 or higher must be installed.

I can see my Windows SDK for .NET Framework 4.0

under the following path:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319

I have used "pbpack126.exe" to create a bootstrapper package

to include all runtime files for .NET Framework 4.0,

...still have the same error message

Here is my Path setting:
