Under most circumstances you will want to install ImageGlue .NET
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 |
| ImageGlue.dll |
The Assembly used by .NET.
The installer places this Assembly in the GAC to allow global
access from any .NET application. It installs a second reference
copy at the following location:
C:\Program Files\WebSupergoo\ImageGlue6 .NET\Common\
However if you are installing manually you can just place
this file in the bin directory of your application.
|
| ImageGlue6CE.dll |
The ImageGlue core engine.
This DLL contains the core graphics 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.
|
| 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.
[Visual Basic]
Dim gs As New Gestalt
MessageBox.Show("New License: " + gs.License)
[C#]
Gestalt gs = new Gestalt();
MessageBox.Show("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.NET.
To enter a full license key create a simple .NET application containing
the following code. You will need write access to the registry to
install a license key.
If you don't have write access to the registry the key will take
but only until the process is unloaded. In this case a permissions
exception may be thrown which you may need to catch and ignore.
[Visual Basic]
Dim gs As New Gestalt
gs.License = "change this text to your key"
MessageBox.Show("New License: " + gs.License)
[C#]
Gestalt gs = new Gestalt();
gs.License = "change this text to your key";
MessageBox.Show("New License: " + gs.License
);
You can use a full license key as provided to you when you purchase
or you can use a trial license key copied from the IGSettings application.
[Visual Basic]
Dim gs As New Gestalt
gs.License = "cd9b5c07db69df2bf57c0a04d9bca58b10c44889c9fb197984e592f49addfce5ec5fe85d7b9205bc"
MessageBox.Show("New License: " + gs.License)
[C#]
Gestalt gs = new Gestalt();
gs.License = "cd9b5c07db69df2bf57c0a04d9bca58b10c44889c9fb197984e592f49addfce5ec5fe85d7b9205bc";
MessageBox.Show("New License: " + gs.License
);

Shared Hosts. Most installations of ImageGlue .NET on shared servers are
seamless. However you need to be aware that you are a guest on the server and
your host may have locked down permissions in ways which will make your life
difficult. If this occurs there is typically little that either you or us can
do about it.
This is why we recommend deployment on a dedicated server. Dedicated servers are
cheaper than you might think and the level of control they allow is only one of
the very significant advantages they afford. It is one of the best decisions
you can make.
If you are intending to install on a shared server the essential thing to do is
to deploy early and discover any issues before they become major problems.
