Hello
I have created an application which uses an ActiveX DLL from another
vendor. I'm not permited to redistribute the DLL and need to access it
from the location where it is installed (the path may change from one
system to another).
If I set the reference to the DLL it will add it to my application
directory automatically. If I remove it from the setup, the application
will fail.
Creating the setup was a pain in the a** up to now (I'm new in VB.Net)
How can I set the reference to the mentioned component. Is there any
solution?
Thanks for any help
Regards

Manfred,
If the control is registered, then you can reference it and just ship the
interop library. The registry should know where it is so you don't need to
store a path to it.

Thank you for your reply.
I'm unsure if the dll is registered. How can I check it. I tried to
check it in VB6 References. It shows up there. I'm unsure because I have
referenced it before in VB.Net.
Another question is the interop.dll
Does this file not contain any parts of the DLL itself? How about
licensing if I distributing such an interop file?
Regards

I don't believe the interop contains any DLL code. It's really an interface
file.

Good to know. I will run a test and include only the interop files.
There are two of them interop.dllname and AXinterop.dllna me
I'm also unsure why there are two?

Manfred
One of them is the interface wrapper, the other the control wrapper. If you
just referenced a COM type library for example, you would only get the one.

1).Why is it that if i define a global variable in a file, say main.c,

global in all functions, but once i split up the rest of the function in
other files, i cannot use the global? Isn't that strange, all the files

on the compiler. Both can cause problems, especially when

Hi,
How can I create a setup project for the VS2005 application that has an
ActiveX control?
I added an ActiveX control to the local folder (set CopyLocal property to
True) and then created the Setup project. Will it register an ActiveX on the
target machine or I have to do it manually. SO far I did not have luck
installing an application that has an ActiveX control.

I don't believe they should be there, can I take them out without
stopping the includes from functioning? I'm the (hapless) optimiser on
this one... I have to correct where they've spelled my name wrong
too...sigh...
