I have the following in several of my Webapps because there is no manifest file. Now that the manifest file is being linked into the .EXE, is there any reason not to allow this to be handled in a manifest file as I do in my Windows apps? Regserver.pkg ain't getting any younger.



Use Regserver.pkg

Object oApplication is a cApplication


Procedure OnCreate
Boolean bOk
String sPath sChilkatDLL
//
Get GetApplicationPath to sPath
Move (sPath + "\ChilkatMail2.dll") to sChilkatDLL
File_Exist sChilkatDLL bOk
If bOk Begin
Get RegServer sChilkatDLL REGSERVER_REGISTER to bOk
End
End_Procedure

Dan,

No change on this in Alpha 3 but it's something we're discussing (yet to be determined if this will change in 19.1).

Thank you. FWIW, it's the Chilkat DLL and I'm guessing I'm not the only one using it in a Webapp. Anyone else want to chime in?

We use the all in one chilkat ocx in the programs folder and on windows embed the manifest and on webapp I think use a manifest file. no need for regsvr32

I am using it too. Although it is not a big issue to use regsvr32 on a webserver, having a manifest file would be nice and consistent. (One type of registering OCX's for both Windows and web).

With Alpha 4, I have successfully removed Regserver, and created and embedded a manifest file. Thanks.
