Creating an Installation Package

When you finish testing, debugging, and regenerating your client and server projects, you are ready to create an installation package.

Copy the ProjectX.dll file (client project) and ProjectS.bld file (server project) to the computer where you are running BladeSmith, and then use BladePack to prepare the installation and registration package for your ActiveX project. For instructions, see Chapter 10, "Using BladePack."

Although your client application developers can get CLSID (class identifier) and IID (interface identifier) information in various ways, you can assist them by including the following files in the installation package.

File Contains...

DkIntf_i.c

Interface identifiers (IIDs) for the ActiveX value object custom interfaces. For information on these interfaces, see Chapter 7, "Using ActiveX Value Objects."

DkIntf.h

IID declarations for DkIntf_i.c.

ProjectX_i.c

Class identifiers (CLSIDs) for the ActiveX value objects provided by project named Project; this file is generated by Visual C++.
