Redistributing Your Applications

Once an application is finished and ready to redistribute, the developer must create a setup.exe that includes all of the necessary files.

Files to Be Included with Your Application

The following summarizes which files to include on your distribution diskettes to support LEADTOOLS Virtual Printer Driver functions on WIN32 and x64 systems.

Note: You may not copy or redistribute any of the following files without obtaining the proper license. In some cases, the license is included with your initial purchase of LEADTOOLS. In other cases, you must obtain a license from a third party or enter into a royalty agreement with LEAD to obtain the proper license.
