Manual Installation    

 

Under most circumstances you will want to install ImageGlue using the standard installer and register it using the IGSettings control panel.

Occasionally you may wish to install ImageGlue manually. To do this you will need the files listed below.

File Name Notes
ImageGlue6.dll

The core DLL used by ASP.

Because the DLL is a COM component it needs to be registered using regsvr32 or equivalent. It can also be registered using MTS or Component Services.
ImageGlue6PSCE.dll

The ImageGlue PostScript engine.

This DLL contains the core PostScript engine. This DLL is placed into the system32 directory typically at:

C:\winnt\system32\

However if you are installing manually you can just place this file in the bin directory of your application.

Most calls to ImageGlue will result in a trial license being created and inserted if it is found that no such license has yet been inserted. At minimum all that is required is to query the value of the Gestalt.License property.

Set gs = CreateObject("ImageGlue6.Gestalt")
MsgBox "New License: " + gs.License

The ImageGlue installer performs this type of check at installation time in order to ensure that a trial license is inserted. However inserting a license at other times can be problematic if your code is operating from a reduced permission account such as that associated with ASP.

To enter a full license key create a simple Visual Basic application containing the following code. You will need write access to the registry to install a license key.

Set gs = CreateObject("ImageGlue6.Gestalt")
gs.License = "change this text to your key"
MsgBox "New License: " + gs.License
