deploy PB .NET assembly

[eric_verhorstert]

We developed a PB.NET aasembly and deployed it to a windows server 2008 64 bit machine.

When we try to use it we allways get the error: error calling external object function f1 at line 14 in ....

On the development machine:

After generation of the assembly we copy it to our program folder. We run "gacutil.exe /i ourdll.dll" and regasm ourdll.dll /regfile:ourdll.reg.

Then we add the generated regfile to the registry.

On the development machine evrything is working fine.

On the deployment machine:

There is no gacutil. We run regasm ourdll.dll /regfile:ourdll.reg. Then we add the generated regfile to the registry, Then we modify ourdll.reg and add the wow6432Node. We add the modified file also to the registry.

Should we add ourdll.dll to the GAC? If so, how do we do that?

If not, some any idea what step we are missing?

Thanks

Hi Eric;

  Did you deploy that using the MSI mechanism that PB.Net can build for you?

We added the dll to our regular setup created with advanced installer. This is not working, so, now I am trying to find out what step is missing.

Yes, you are correct. After installing the Powerbuilder .NET components it is working.

Is there info available which .NET components we should include with the assembly?

I prefer using only one setup and we use advanced installer.

Hi Eric;

  Have a look at the PB.Net help file system under "Deployment". Also, use the "Packager" utility provided with PowerBuilder to package & register the .Net PBVM run-time DLL's.
