Use the following guidelines to copy files during the installation of your application:

  • The license file must be installed in the same directory as the driver DLLs.
  • The following ICU library files must be installed in the same directory as the driver DLLs.
    • For the 7.1 drivers: xxicu.dll and xxicu27.dll
    • For the 8.0 drivers: xxicu.dll
    Where xx is the 2-character prefix assigned when you branded the drivers in your development environment.
  • The support file xxtrcnn.dll, where xx is the 2-character prefix assigned when you branded the drivers in your development environment and nn is the driver number is optional. If you choose to distribute it, it must be installed in the user’s Windows system directory.
  • Your installation program can copy the driver DLL files to any directory you choose.
    Note: If both you and another vendor are using the same prefix for the driver file names, that vendor’s license file will have the same name as yours. To avoid possible conflicts with license files of the same name, we recommend that you choose an alternate directory or contact Progress DataDirect to obtain a unique prefix. See "Before branding the drivers" for details.
  • If you use an alternate directory, it must be set in the PATH variable.
  • To obtain the path to the Windows SYSTEM directory, call the GetSystemDirectory Windows function.
