Distributing and Registering Pervasive PSQL ActiveX Files

For information about distributing your Pervasive PSQL application, see Distributing Pervasive PSQL Applications in Pervasive PSQL Programmer's Guide.

The following table includes the files required to run your application built with Pervasive's ActiveX interface:

Table 2-5 Redistributable Files
File	Location	Description
ACBTR732.OCX	file_path\PSQL\bin	Pervasive PSQL Data Source Control
ACCTR732.OCX	file_path\PSQL\bin	Pervasive PSQL Bound Controls
PEDTCONV.DLL	file_path\PSQL\bin	Data conversion DLL
PBTRVD32.DLL	file_path\PSQL\bin	Meta data handling DLL

For default locations of Pervasive PSQL files, see Where are the Pervasive PSQL v10 files installed? in Getting Started With Pervasive PSQL.

Once you have distributed Pervasive PSQL ActiveX files and the required DLLs, you must register the ActiveX files so that they function correctly. There are two ways you can register these files:

Many current installation utilities, such as InstallShield, can be modified to automatically register ActiveX controls during the installation process (for more information, refer to the documentation for your particular installation utility).

Another way to register ActiveX controls is to install the redistributable file REGSVR32.EXE and run it during (or after) the installation process. This is a simple ActiveX registration utility that takes the name of the ActiveX to be registered as a command-line parameter (e.g., REGSVR32 C:\MyInstall\ACBTR732.OCX).
