FAQ: TBarCode Setup & Distribution

TBarCode V7 and all newer versions use the C/C++ Runtime Libraries from Visual Studio 2005 (CRT V8). The required files are installed by the TBarCode setup program automatically.

Although very often required, these libraries are not part of a Windows standard installation. But it is possible to install these libraries from an extra package available from Microsoft:

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package

If you use an installer (e.g: Installshield or WIX) you can also include so called MSM modules, which contain these VC8/CRT8 runtime libraries. MSM modules (merge modules) are installed into the correct folders automatically by your setup application.

For more information regarding redistributing TBarCode, read page 21 of the Developer Manual.

TBarCode V7

Use the MSI package provided on request by our support team. To run the setup in silent mode use the following parameter:

TBarCode_Setup.msi  /quiet

TBarCode V8, V9

Use the standard MSI setup package, which is available for public download. You can select the feature you want to install through the ADDLOCAL parameter. E.g. if you want to install only the TBarcode OCX component run the setup this way.

msiexec /i TBarCode_Setup.msi ADDLOCAL=FeatTBarCode,FeatOCX /qn

Optional: add parameter INSTALLDIR=C:\TBarCode8ocx for installation into a specific directory.
