How do include XChange Drivers with VS2010 setup project?

[akurian]

Hi,

Our Windows Forms project uses PDF-XChange Drivers SDK to print some content to a PDF file. While the application works fine on the development machine, it fails to run on test machines. The error displayed is "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {217974DB-6777-4A9F-90A7-AA5EBA834BA2} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))."

It looks like the required DLLs are not being included by our installer (a VS2010 Setup Project). This has already been discussed in other places in this forum.

Are there additional steps I need to take (apart from referencing the DLLs in the Windows Forms project) so that the DLLs are included with the installer and registered on the target machine?

Hi akurian,

We do have a redistributable file as well as .msms for inclusion directly in your installer here:

Which should take care of supplying the dlls and registering them. You can also install the drivers without a visible printer.

I believe this page will also be helpful in your deployment:
