There
are two recommended techniques for installing the TAL Bar
Code ActiveX control on a server. The first is to install
the control using the Setup.exe program that you received
when you purchased the TAL Bar Code control. This will
install all of the required files including the OCX, DLL
and LIC files to the server where the control expects to
find them. This will also install all of the sample applications
on the server therefore if you do not need the samples
on the server you can delete them. If you only want to
install the minimal required files on your server, you
can also install the control as follows:
- Create
a new folder anywhere on the server and copy the files
TALBarCd.OCX, TALBC.DLL, TALBCDMX.DLL, TALBCMX.DLL and
TALBC.LIC to the new folder.
- Register
the ActiveX control on the server by running REGSVR32
using the following command:
REGSVR32 path\TALBarCd.OCX /s
where "path" is the file path to the folder where the OCX file
has been copied to.
If you
are using an Internet Service Provider, the second technique
is the preferred method because many ISPs will not allow
you to install applications using a SETUP program on their
servers. They may also not allow you to read or write files
in their Windows or Windows\System folder. Using the second
technique, you can copy the files to the server yourself
using an FTP program and then all you need to do is to
contact the ISP and ask them to register the OCX with REGSVR32.
If the control is not registered on the server then it
will not function. In some cases you may also need to ask
your ISP to allow "file write privledges" to the folder
where you will be outputting the bar code graphics to.
If the write privlidges for the folder are set up to not
allow writing to the folder then the control will not be
able to save any images to disk.
