Developer Installation Options
The Common Control Objects can be installed in two ways:
Manual "Installation". Download the ZIPped CCO
runtime, which comes in both release and debug versions. Installation
consists of extracting files from the ZIP that you need -- typically a
subset
of the OPOS*.ocx files -- plus registering
these COM objects, typically by using regsvr32.exe. The batch file
Register.bat in the ZIP will register all of the CCOs. (For the
debug version, the batch file RegisterDbg.bat
registers all of the CCOs plus two files needed for generating the trace
files.) Wise Installation. Run the Wise Install program, which will
prompt you for a few options. The installation program is the (aging)
Wise InstallMaster 7, so the setup program is not an MSI install.
Automated Installation / Uninstallation
Many -- perhaps most -- vendors that need to deploy the CCOs to registers
will choose to package the needed OPOS*.ocx files,
perhaps as an InstallShield merge module that is part of the overall system
and/or application deployment. The CCOs should be marked for
self-registration.
Should one choose to use the Wise Install directly, there are some available
options that you may use to manage the install and uninstall process.
Most of these are as provided by the Wise 7 installer.
You may run the Wise Install program with the silent install option "/S":
OposCCOs-x_x_xxx.exe /S
This will install it as if you accepted all defaults.
For further tuning, runc
OposCCOs-x_x_xxx.exe /S /M=OptionsFile
where
OptionsFile is a text file containing one or more of the following lines:
DEST=path
where "path" = Destination path.
DOBACKUP=*
where "*" =
'A' for backup, or 'B' for no backup.
COMPONENTS=*
where "*" = One or more of the characters:
'A' to select COs
'B' to select Includes
APPTITLE=TitleOfInstall
where "TitleOfInstall" appears in the Add/Remove Programs dialog.
An example option file follows. It sets the destination directory, omits file
backups, installs only the Control Objects, and sets the Add/Remove Programs
name.
DEST=D:\Program Files\OPOS
DOBACKUP=B
COMPONENTS=A
APPTITLE=OPOS CCOs
Run the Wise uninstall program that is placed at the destination path
plus "CommonCO\zOposCCOs\UNWISE.EXE". If
your install directory was "C:\OPOS", then
uninstall with the command line:
C:\OPOS\CommonCO\zOposCCOs\UNWISE.EXE
[Options] C:\OPOS\CommonCO\zOposCCOs\INSTALL.LOG [Title]
where Title is the window title
displayed during uninstall, and the relevant Options are:
/Z Remove empty directories, including one with unwise itself in it
/A Automatic mode, no user choices other than cancel
/S Silent mode, automatic mode with no user choices
/U Like automatic mode, but gives all choices other than custom/automatic
