Installation Order of Registering Dependent Files
I've posted a couple other threads that also relate to my Problem Installing a Project w/ Crystal Reports 4.x, with a question of a different nature in each.
This one is to find out: If a file, like crystl32.ocx, has dependency files, such as CRPE32.DLL which has dependent files of its own, does it matter in which order you register the files during installation?
In other words, would you need to register CRPE32's dependent files first, then CRPE32, then crystl32.ocx?
Re: Installation Order of Registering Dependent Files
Theoretically, if a control has dependency files, then the control should be registered prior to the dependencies.
However, this is something that would need to be tested.
Re: Installation Order of Registering Dependent Files
I dont think it matters as I dont think there is any validation of what dependancy file(s) exist during registration of a file. Now if you try to run it then it will get verified if the registered dependancy file(s) exist.
CR 4.x is very old any you may experience issues with it.

That which doesn't kill me makes me a better programmer... ;)
Trust me, guys; as soon as I can afford it I will be upgrading - CR, programming language, computer, car, lifestyle... :p
Thanks.
