- If you have purchased POLAR Draw ActiveX control and are deploying an application, you must ensure
- that the first three groups of files listed below exist on your client's machine and
- are the proper version. The correct versions of these files are provided on the product CD.
- If your client's machine has older versions of these files, you should update them.
-
- 1 POLAR DRAW.OCX
-
- 2 MFC42.DLL
- MSVCRT.DLL
-
- 3 OLE32.DLL
- OLEAUT32.DLL
- OLEPRO32.DLL

-
- Polar Draw.ocx is the Polar Draw ActiveX control redistributable file. This file
- may be in the Windows system directory, on the computer's path, or for WinNT and
- Win95, in the directory specified by your application's Per Application Path key
- in the Registry Database. The .OCX file must be registered on each user's machine.
- The POLAR Draw ActiveX control Setup program registers the OCXs on your development machine.
- To register an OCX on the user machine, use the REGSVR32.EXE utility.
- This utility is available from Microsoft. To run this utility type the following at the
- command prompt on each user's machine:
-
- regsvr32 filename
-
- The second group of files are Microsoft redistributable files necessary for the
- ActiveX control to operate. Your programming environment should have installed
- and registered these files. If they were not installed, or they are older versions,
- the POLAR Draw ActiveX control installer updated and registered them. Copy these files from
- your development machine to your users machine.
-
- Our ActiveX controls require OLE2 support to be installed on a machine. In order
- to run an application containing one of our controls you must ensure OLE2 has
- been installed on the user's machine. The third group of files in the table list are
- the OLE2 files accessed by POLAR Draw ActiveX control. Normally, copying these files
- to the user machine is all that is required.
-
- The fourth group of files should be present on any system running Windows. You should
- not remove or update these files. They are included only to form a complete list of
- filed needed to use POLAR Draw ActiveX control.
-
-
-
-
- 7. USING THE UNINSTALLER
- POLAR Draw ActiveX control files can be removed from your system with the Windows 95
- Add\Remove Programs item or by double-clicking the UnInstaller icon in the
- Program Manager folder. Using the UnInstaller will remove all files and
- Registration Database entries made during the installation. If you are using
- Visual Basic, it will create a support cache file (********.OCA) for each control,
- that must be removed manually.
-
- The UnInstaller creates a log of operations during the installation which it
- "undoes" to "uninstall" the product. You should run the UnInstaller before running
- the Installer additional times. If you run the installer a second time without
- using the UnInstaller first, only the options selected in the second install will
- be written to the UnInstall log and later be uninstalled. For the UnInstaller
- to work properly, you should reinstall your original options in addition to the
- options you wish to install.
-
- The Windows Start menu is not always updated immediately by the operating system.
- This means that sometimes uninstalled shortcuts do not always disappear right away.
- Because of this limitation, an uninstalled shortcut can temporarily continue to
- appear in the Start menu even though it really has been uninstalled. If you wait
- for a while, run some other programs, or restart the system, the shortcut should
- eventually disappear from the Start menu.
-
- To verify that the program has been uninstalled:
-
- 1. From the Start menu, go to Settings/Taskbar/Start Menu Programs/Advanced.
- 2. When the Explorer displays, click on the existing program folder.
- 3. Check to see if the shortcut exists in the program folder. If it does not,
- then the shortcut has been uninstalled correctly, but the Start menu has not
- been updated correctly.
