Please copy OCX and DLL files in Windows\System32 folder (on 64 bit operating systems when using the 32 bit versions, copy files into the Windows\SysWOW64 folder) Regarding files unrelated to the ImageKit8 ActiveX that may be necessary when making your setup disk, please refer to the manual for your specific development container.

When using ActiveX (OCX) controls don't forget that they must be registered. At this time eventhough the install program copies the necessary file and registers them, depending on the timimg that this occurs an error can be generated. To avoid such problems, make sure that the dll files are copied first, then the ocx file is copied and registered.

When using DLL commands without the ActiveX controls, copy the DLL files into the same folder as the application. Likewise, to ensure that an application that uses only the DLL commands is not influenced by an application that uses the ActiveX controls, copy the DLL files into the same folder as the DLL application.

In Web Applications

1. When the web application is transferred from server to client via CAB file and runs on the client machine:

The ImageKit Control will use the following cab file depending on the version of the ImageKit Control you are deploying:
   For the 32 bit Unicode version; use the ImageKit8.cab
   For the 32 bit Unicode version; use the ImageKit8A.cab
   For the 64 bit Unicode version; use the ImageKit864.cab
   For the 64 bit Unicode version; use the ImageKit864A.cab

The Thumbnail Control will use the following cab file depending on the version of the Thumbnail Control you are deploying:
   For the 32 bit Unicode version; use the ImageKit8Thumb.cab
   For the 32 bit Unicode version; use the ImageKit8ThumbA.cab
   For the 64 bit Unicode version; use the ImageKit8Thumb64.cab
   For the 64 bit Unicode version; use the ImageKit8Thumb64A.cab

These cab files contain compressed versions of the OCX and DLL files and when transferred over the internet an dialog appears identifying the manufacturer and their digital certificate.

1. When the web application runs on the server

Please refer to Windows Applications above.
