Deployment

I have a question regarding deployment of an application that uses Dplotlib sending the results straight into our custom VB6 app.

Do you have to seperatly install Dplot Jnr to be able to use Dplotlib. Or is there some way I can just include dplotlib in the deployment and the various registry settings?

Currently I am having no luck getting it running unless I also install Dplot Jnr and wondering if I am missing something that gets fixed when I install Dplot Jnr.

You need DPlot Jr. All dplotlib.dll does is communicate with DPlot Jr - no graphics. You might find it more convenient to have your own setup program install DPlot Jr, rather than distributing a separate setup. Everything you need to know is shown in the "Notes for DPlot Jr and DPlot Viewer users" topic in the Help file. Online version is here:

Thanks for that, so from what I am reading I have to put all these files in the exact same locations as the computer I build them on?

That inno setup software looks really good, I might use that.

No, not at all. Not sure why you'd ask? If you put DPLOTLIB.DLL in the same folder as the application that calls its functions, it will be found, no problem. DPlot Jr can go anywhere you (or the end user) wants. All you need to do is add the registry entry found in that Help file topic so that DPLOTLIB.DLL can find it.
