Deploying client applications
The simplest way to deploy OLE DB client libraries is to use the InstallShield objects or templates. For information, see Using InstallShield objects and templates for deployment. If you wish to create your own installation, this section describes the files to deploy to the end users.
Each OLE DB client machine must have the following:
A working OLE DB installation OLE DB files and instructions for their redistribution are available for redistribution from Microsoft Corporation. They are not described in detail here.
The Adaptive Server Anywhere OLE DB provider The following table shows the files needed for a working Adaptive Server Anywhere OLE DB provider. These files should be placed in a single directory. The Adaptive Server Anywhere installation places them all in the operating-system subdirectory of your SQL Anywhere installation directory (for example: win32).
| Description | Windows | Windows CE |
|---|---|---|
| OLE DB driver file | dboledb9.dll | dboledb9.dll |
| OLE DB driver file | dboledba9.dll | dboledba9.dll |
| Language-resource library | dblgen9.dll | dblgen9.dll |
| Connect dialog | dbcon9.dll | N/A |
OLE DB providers require many registry entries. You can make these by self-registering the DLLs using the regsvr32 utility on Windows or the regsvrce utility on Windows CE.
