Distributing and Registering Pervasive.SQL ActiveX Files

For information about distributing your Pervasive.SQL application, see Distributing Pervasive.SQL Applications in Pervasive.SQL 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	C:\PVSW\BIN	Pervasive.SQL Data Source Control
ACCTR732.OCX	C:\PVSW\BIN	Pervasive.SQL Bound Controls
PEDTCONV.DLL	C:\PVSW\BIN	Data conversion DLL
PBTRVD32.DLL	C:\PVSW\BIN	Meta data handling DLL

Once you have distributed Pervasive.SQL 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).
