Issue with bootstrap import of datawindows

We have recently converted from PB12.5.2 to PB17R2.  In our latest Powergen build, some of the datawindows produced syntax errors during the bootstrap import and hence did not appear in the rebuilt application.  The main difference between these datawindows and other ones checked in at around the same time are that the ones that compiled were modified in PB12.5.2 and the failed ones were altered in PB17.
Importing the extracted source code into PB2017R2 works fine.
There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the GEN file or the PBGs.
We are using the Pwrgen17.exe version from our scripts.
We are using Powergen 9.7.1.5

Specifically they seem to fall on this line
export.pdf(method=0 distill.custompostscript="0" xslfop.print="0" nativepdf.customsize=0 nativepdf.customorientation=0 nativepdf.pdfstandard=0 nativepdf.useprintspec=no )
just before the = in nativepdf.pdfstandard=0

This code does not appear in the PB12.5.2 datawindows

I have tried creating a test datawindow in PB17R2, checking it in to source control, then doing a scripted build - it produces the same error.

Re: Issue with bootstrap import of datawindows

This problem resulted from a mismatch and/or duplicate PB DLLs.  PowerGen uses these DLLs through the ORCA API (this is not orcascript).

If you're seeing unusual results like reported here, make sure you have a clean installation of PB.
