Package and Deployment...
I've automated some functions in Office 2003 and it uses the MS Soap 3.0
Toolkit to communicate with a .Net web service. It all works perfectly on my development machine, but I get errors when I try installing the setup from the packaging wizard. There are 3 DLL dependent files that are needed with this application, but they don't register on the users machine and therefore the application won't work. There is always an error message saying the DLL's could not be registered and to Abort, Retry or Ignore. How can I get these DLL's to register on users machines? Thanks, King Wilder |

Hi King,
I've automated some functions in Office 2003 and it uses the MS Soap 3.0 Toolkit to communicate with a .Net web service. It all works perfectly on my development machine, but I get errors when I try installing the setup from the packaging wizard. There are 3 DLL dependent files that are needed with this application, but they don't register on the users machine and therefore the application won't work. There is always an error message saying the DLL's could not be registered and to Abort, Retry or Ignore. How can I get these DLL's to register on users machines? IIRC, you need to install the SOAP toolkit on all user machines as well as the development machine, so you'd write an install script for just your components, then call MS' SOAP toolkit install separately. I don't think you can rely on the P&D wizard to get everything correct by itself. Regards Stephen Bullen Microsoft MVP - Excel www.oaltd.co.uk |

Stephen,
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately that won't be possible for every user. I'll have to think of a work around.
