KB10577 - What is the procedure to deploy from the DK ActiveX? Is there a special deployment version?

Beginning with the DK-ActiveX version 8.0.0.500, there is only one version of the product for both development and deployment. The procedure is to copy the ttkGISDK.ocx to the deployment computer and register it using a setup routine or “regsvr32 ttkgisdk.ocx”. Just to be clear, the deployment of a DK-ActiveX application is free of any TatukGIS activation/registration procedure. (Only the use of the DK-ActiveX on a development station - for design mode under IDE - rquires that the TatukGIS activation procedure be performed.)

Always perform a "full rebuild" (if applicable) of your application before delivery/deployment. Performing the full rebuild will ensure that all parts of the application match the interfaces, licensing codes, etc. In particular this can be an issue when using Visual Studio .NET.

Prior to the DK-ActiveX 8.0.0.500 release there were two DK-ActiveX versions – one for development and one for deployment. The change (to a single version for both development and deployment) was implemented to simplify deployment situations. If you are experiencing deployment difficulty, we suggest upgrading to the most recently available retail version of the DK-ActiveX product.

If for some reason you are still using an older version of the DK-ActiveX (before version 8.0.0.500), be careful to deploy only the special deployment version (refer to the DK README file) of the DK-ActiveX (ttkGISDK.OCX), which is found in the found in c:\Program Files\TatukGIS\DK8\Deployment\XDK directory. The ttkGISDK.OCX found in the c:\Program Files\TatukGIS\DK8 directory is only to be used by the licensed developer.

You can check the Internal Name of the version string of the ttkGISDK.ocx:

• TatukGIS_XDK_DPL for deployment version
• TatukGIS_XDK for developer version
• TatukGIS_XDK_TRIAL for trial version

If you were working with a previous beta version of DK, removing/re-entering the components into the form should help.
