9.3 Using the run-time library installer

An alternative to building a single release folder is to use Functional Developer's run-time library installer, a self-extracting executable that installs all the Functional Developer run-time libraries (DLLs) in a central location.

The default location is

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Functional Objects\System

The run-time library installer also sets the PATH environment variable to include this folder.

Your distributable application should then consist of a copy of your compiled application files from the project's Bin folder, and the run-time installer.

The run-time library installer is included on CD-ROM editions of Functional Developer, and can also be downloaded from Functional Objects' World Wide Web site. You can distribute the run-time installer to customers, or allow them to download it themselves.
