SUMMARYThis article describes how you can manually register an OLE server on a computer that has never had Visual FoxPro 5.0 installed. This article also assumes you already know how to create a custom OLE server. You can read Chapter 16 of the Visual FoxPro Developer's Guide, "Registering a Custom OLE Server," for more information.
MORE INFORMATIONIn order to register an .exe or a .dll custom OLE server, you need to have the following two files located in the \System directory for Windows 95 or the \System32 directory for Windows NT on the machine you are installing to.
VFP500.DLL VFP5ENU.DLLIf you do not have these files, you can obtain them from the machine on which you have Visual FoxPro 5.0 installed. When you build a custom OLE server, the following three files are created:
When trying to register an .exe file, you must have the .exe and the .vbr files. The example below assumes you already have a custom OLE server built and named Oleserver.exe:
OLEServer /regserverYour .exe file should now be registered. Here is an example that shows you how to register a .dll file: When trying to register a .dll file you must have the .dll and .vbr files and have access to a third file, Regsvr32.exe. The example below assumes you already have a custom OLE server built and named Oleserver.dll:
REGSVR32 OLEServer.DLLYou should get a message box that says "DllRegisterServer in OLEServer.dll succeeded." Your .dll file is now registered. If you do not have Regsvr32.exe in you target machine, you can obtain this file from Visual FoxPro 5.0 directory NOTE: Manually registering these files is necessary only if you are not using the Visual FoxPro Setup Wizard to install your custom OLE server.
