Distributing DLLs & Other Components with an Application

Components such as ActiveX Controls and DLLs can be installed on Windows PCs by copying them into the \Windows\System directory during the setup or installation process and then registering the component. Below is a sample of a SETUP.LST file used by the Visual Basic package and deployment wizard.

For those who prefer not to use the Visual Basic Package and Deployment Wizard, the recommended software is Setup Generator Pro application - it is much easier to use and does an excellent job installing fonts. In the Setup Generator Pro application, choose the "Register as OCX or DLL" option for the DLL file. This is an easy to use, yet powerful application that does not have any runtime requirements like the Visual Basic package and deployment wizard does.

Distribution of IDAutomation fonts or components outside an organization requires a Developer License.
