Once an application is finished and ready to redistribute, create a setup.exe that includes all of the necessary files.
The following summarizes which files to include on your distribution diskettes to support the LEADTOOLS Virtual Printer 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.
General Notes:
The \Redist\ subdirectories contain copies of these files.
Environment-Specific notes:
32-bit Operating Systems: Unless otherwise noted, all 32-bit should be deployed to the System32 folder as shared files.
64-bit Operating Systems: Unless otherwise noted, all 32-bit files should be deployed to the SysWow64 folder and 64-bit files should be deployed to the System32 folder as shared files.
XP / Server 2003: If running within a service on an XP or Server 2003 machine you may run into an issue where the printer installs but doesn't receive the events. This is a result of the default DCOM authentication settings. To correct this, go to Start -> Run and enter "dcomcnfg". Then right click on Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer and select properties. On the Default Properties tab select "None" for the Default Authentication Level.
Destination directory structure specification:
Use the L_PrnInstallPrinter function to install the LEADTOOLS Virtual Printer Module. Pass the structure PRNPRINTERINFO to this function. The installation path specified in the pszRootDir member of the PRNPRINTERINFO structure is the root folder in which the LEADTOOLS Virtual Printer is installed. This folder should contain two sub-folders:
-\Bin. This folder should contain the LeadtoolsPrinter.exe executable file.
-\Spool. Used to store temporary files generated while printing.
Note: All users of this printer must have access to the folder passed to the pszRootDir member.
