Hello

    I program on Xbase 1.9.
I would like to know if we can download an exe that install only 
xpprtt1.ldll and so on
to excute my application ?

Thanks a lot

Bye

I do not get what you try to do exactly.
The runtime DLL's for deployment are supplied with the Xbase++
installation. It is a fair set of DLLs that you have to deploy with your
application depending on the Xbase++ functions and classes that are used by
your application. 
I come to a minimum of 7 just to start, so just the XPPRT1.DLL certainly is
not sufficient.

Bonjour Peter,

    L'anglais n'est pas ma langue maternelle et j'ai un peu de problème pour
trouver les mots justes.
    J'ai un logiciel que j'ai vendu et qui doit etre installé sur des 
ordinateurs dans différent points de
ventes
Il faut le moteur Xbase ( xpprt1.dll, xprt2.dll .........)

Je ne souhaite pas installer sur leur PC, le compilateur ( xpp.exe ), linker 
, lib .... )

N'existe t'il pas un setup.exe qui installe le minimun pour faire tourner 
les programmes.


Merci

Hello Peter,

    English is not my mother tongue and I have a little problem with
find the right words.
    I have a software that I sold and that must be installed on computers in 
different points of
sales
You need the Xbase engine (xpprt1.dll, xprt2.dll .........)

I do not want to install on their PC, the compiler (xpp.exe), linker, lib 
....)

Does not exist a setup.exe that installs the minimun to run the programs.


Thank you

Alain Rousseau

Hi Alain,

For Xbase++ 1.9 all the runtime files that you need to distribute are 
located in C:\Program File (x86)\ALASKA\XPPW32\runtime.  Of course this 
would not include any 3rd party libraries that your application needs.

To make distribution to your clients easier you could use iexpress.exe 
(included in Windows XP and later) or 7Zip (http://www.spiroo.be/7zip/). 
  If you are using iexpress.exe you need to run it elevated as 
administrator.

Hope this helps... Jonathan

Hi Again,

Just to clarify that I am suggesting that you create a self extracting 
ZIP type file with either of these two utilities to aid in distribution. 
  I would expect that you might consider having your executable in the 
same self extracting file to be installed in the same folder on the end 
users computer.

Hi Alain,

there are many programs that produce installers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_installation_software

I would suggest to use either InnoSetup or the Nullsoft installer as both
are free and also used by a lot of open source projects.
