Installing Question

[brianj774]

I'm looking for info as to installing the product, and I'm coming up short. How does one go about installing this product?

I see, for example, that the 2012.3 package comes with an installer, but that appears to only install stuff to the harddrive. There's also an 'installer' in the directory, which I assume installs the libraries to the GAC, but running it on my system doesn't do anything obvious.

I also have a 2013.02.05 package, with no installers or anything.

My question, then, is how to go about getting the files INTO an MVC project? Adding references, etc. How do I know which files to add? Is GAC the only option, or can I install the DLL's to my projects packages folder, so that it goes into my code repository, and flows to my other team members? Is it possible to install to my project, in such a way, as to not require an "actual installation" on my deployment server?

Sorry if these questions are already answered somewhere. I've spent a good hour looking, but didn't turn up anything useful to present.

Thanks Much!

There are two types of builds of our application. A release that has an installer and a prerelease build which comes in the zip archive. To install this prerelease build properly you should:

• remove previous assemblies from GAC using installer.exe utility;
• overwrite previous assemblies with current ones;
• install current assemblies in GAC using installer.exe utility;

But you could don't install assemblies in GAC at all if you will copy them in your project.

You could read more about How the Runtime Locates Assemblies on the MSDN Library.

Thank you.

Thank you Aleksey.

I also found section 23 in the "Stimulsoft_Reports_Manual.En.pdf" file. Between that, and your info, I should be able to make it work.

However, when I double-click the installer utility (I remember this from previous versions), nothing happens. I used to be presented with a dialog, but something else happens now.

Thoughts ?

Hello,

However, when I double-click the installer utility (I remember this from previous versions), nothing happens. I used to be presented with a dialog, but something else happens now.

Please try to download the version again. Possibly there were some technical problems while releasing the version and we could re-download the version on our website.

Thank you.
