Installation Guidelines

This document briefly reviews how to install MediaLooks' products.

1. Download installation package (usually .MSI) and run the installer.

2. Follow the istaller guidelines.

By default, our products are installed in the "Program Files/MediaLooks" folder. If you wish to uninstall any of our products at a later date, you need to simply run the uninstaller either from the program folder, from the user menu or from the administration panel in Windows. This is done entirely for the convenience of our customers.

When using our DLLs in actual development, you might find it more convenient to place the DLLs somewhere in the folder structure of your application. Having done so, please make sure that you re-register the DLL at its new location (use "winsvr32").

Note that after that the uninstaller will not be able to remove this DLL from your computer.

Redistribution Guidelines

If you are redistributing our DLL, here's a rough list of things that you need to do.

1. Copy our DLL to the target folder.
2. Regsiter the DLL with one of the following methods:
   1. Call "regsvr32.exe <name>.dll.
   2. SelfRegModules MSI Action.
   3. WiX tag <File Id=... SelfRegCost=<size of data for write to register> .../>
   4. Via the installer. The registration data can be retrieved from the DLL if you open it in, say, Visual Studio and read the "REGISTRY" section.
3. Copy the license file (.LIC) into the same folder with either our DLL or your app's executable.
