Hi,
We currently use some ActiveX controls in Powerbuilder. To be able to use the ActiveX controls without registering them at runtime, we decided to add manifest entries for the corresponding DLL files. The DLLs are deployed by us relative to the EXE in the program directory.
Now the question arises, is there a way or a trick that we are not forced to register the ActiveX files on the developer's computer?
Can we do this for the pb220.exe in the form of a manifest file? Maybe as an external manifest file to pb220.exe.
This would save us a lot of hassle when updating ActiveX components, as there would be no need to unregister and register for ActiveX updates.
What are your experiences? Do you have a special method to simplify the process? :-)
Thanks and Best Regards
Tobi
