<QUOTE>
Has anyone here used InstallShield to create an installation for an OI application and the OIPI?



After deploying the OI program I installed the OIPI to the deployed instance of OI.  Then, I created a InstallShield installation for the OI application whereI copy OIPI.EXE to the application's target directory and the following files to the windows system directory:



COMPOBJ.DLL, CTL3DV2.DLL, OC25.DLL, SCP.DLL, STKIT416.DLL, STORAGE.DLL, TYPELIB.DLL, VB40016.DLL, VAEN21.OLB, STDOLE.TLB, OLE2CONV.DLL, OLE2DISP.DLL, OLE2NLS.DLL, OLE2PROX.DLL, OLE2.REG, OLE2.DLL, VSVIEW3-.OCX, and SSUTIL.OCX.



I ran the installation on two difference PCs, both running Win95.  After rebooting, the OIPI worked on one, but on the other, I got an error message indicating that the TYPELIB.DLL was out of date and then it choked.



Any ideas of what I am doing wrong, or is there a better way to do this?

<QUOTE>Hi Greg,



What are the versions of the DLL's you are shipping?  I've done an IS script for one of our apps and it installs fine - I used the DLL's Tony ships with the OIPI - you should be able to extract them from the OIPI client if you need to get them - be careful you don't just take what's in your Windows System Dir on your development machine...

Thanks for your reply.  The files that I am including in the IS script are the ones that Tony told me to deploy.  I was using the files that were in my Windows System directory.



I take it from your message that these are not the 'versions' that I want.  Where is the best place to get these files from?

Isn't the obvious choice to use the files from the OIPI installation itself? Except that you have to unpack them first.

With a program from MS called EXPAND.EXE. I can mail it to you tomorrow.

<QUOTE>Or just do an OIPI install and put them in your OI directory instead of your WinSys one - there's an option when installing OIPI I believe :-)

<QUOTE>Carl,



Go read yesterday's email and help me with my web stuff instead of outsmarting me in public like that. :-) :-) :-)



(Btw - if you let the OIPI setup put the files in the OI folder, will it always overwrite existing files? Mustn't you delete all the files beforehand to be 100% sure you get the versions from the current setup? At least there's been an issue with OIPI.EXE itself not always overwriting old versions.)
