Generating TLB/REG files

Select File | Generate TLB/REG.

Enter the name of the output directory to store the generated .tlb and .reg files. The default is the root directory of the drive on which EAServer is installed.

In the Proxy Server Location, you must enter the path to the InProcServer corresponding to the Generic ActiveX Proxy DLL (jagproxy.dll).

Click the Register box if you plan to run ActiveX EAServer clients on the same machine where EAServer Manager is running. This will register the ActiveX proxy interfaces. The ActiveX proxy interfaces must be registered before applications can use them.

If you do not click the Register box, the .reg file can be manually registered by using the system regedit tool to load it into the machine’s registry. To run ActiveX clients on another machine, copy the generated .reg file to that machine, then use the jagreg tool to load it into the machine’s registry.

After the registry file is registered, do not move the type libraries or the APAS. The registry file maintains absolute paths to these files. If you move any of these files, use the jagreg tool to register the new locations of these files.

Click the Save MIDL File box if you want to retain the generated Microsoft interface definition language (MIDL) file. If .tlb/.reg generation fails, the MIDL file may be used to turn the MIDL compiler from the command line to determine the cause of the failure.
