I am trying to deploy my ImageGear Pro ActiveX project and am receiving an error stating
The module igPDF18a.ocx failed to load
when registering the igPDF18a.ocx component. Why is this occurring, and how can I register the component correctly?
To Register your igPDF18a.ocx component you will need to run the following command:
igPDF18a.ocx
regsvr32 igPDF18a.ocx
If you receive an error stating that the component failed to load, then that likely means that regsvr32 is not finding the necessary dependencies for the PDF component.
The first thing you will want to check is that you have the Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 CRT (x86) installed on the machine. You can download this from Microsoft’s site here:
Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 CRT (x86)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
The next thing you will want to check for is the DL100*.dll files. These files should be included in the deployment package generated by the deployment packaging wizard if you included the PDF component when generating the dependencies. These files must be in the same folder as the igPDF18a.ocx component in order to register it.
DL100*.dll
With those dependencies, you should be able to register the PDF component with regsvr32 without issue.
regsvr32
The logging for ImageGear C & C++ Deployment Packaging Wizard (DPW) is showing different output for some components since v19.3, why is this?
In ImageGear C & C++ v19.2 and prior, the DPW had additional logging information for the ARTX component in its deployment.log:
Deploying an application that uses the ARTXGUI library of ImageGear ARTX Component requires the following merge modules to be installed: Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86_x64.msm Microsoft_VC90_MFC_x86_x64.msm
Deploying an application that uses the ARTXGUI library of ImageGear ARTX Component requires the following merge modules to be installed:
Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86_x64.msm
Microsoft_VC90_MFC_x86_x64.msm
But since v19.3, the logs are no longer telling me to install these modules. Is this a mistake, or are they no longer necessary?
This was an intentional change on our end, and the Deployment Packaging Wizard (DPW) is working as intended. We made some updates to the DPW in the latest release; one update is that the CRM requirements for CORE (which is required in every project) now also covers the ARTX component. If the DPW is not saying you need additional components to use the ARTX component, then you’ll be fine.
