Compiling and Distributing Your Image-Enabled Application

You need to make sure that you compile your image-enabled application with the appropriate version of Imaging for Windows.

You also need to make sure that your end users acquire and set up the appropriate version of Imaging for Windows prior to installing your software.

The version of Imaging for Windows you need when compiling your application and the version your end users need to install largely depends on the features you have included in your software.

You Included Imaging for Windows Professional Edition Features

If you used a control, property, method, event, or parameter provided exclusively by a particular version of Imaging for Windows Professional Edition (as identified in this on-line document), you must compile your application with that version of Imaging for Windows Professional Edition.

In addition, you must make sure that your end users purchase and set up that version of Imaging for Windows Professional Edition before using your software.

Your users can obtain Imaging for Windows Professional Edition from the Eastman Software Web site, at:

You Did Not Include Imaging for Windows Professional Edition Features

If you did not use a control, property, method, event, or parameter provided exclusively by Imaging for Windows Professional Edition and you want your application to be used by Imaging for Windows 95, 98, or NT users you must compile your application with the appropriate version of Imaging for Windows (95, 98, or NT).

The Imaging for Windows 95, 98, and NT controls are free; as such, there are no royalties or licensing fees required.  Your end users must simply set up the appropriate version of Imaging for Windows as a prerequisite to using your program (if they haven't already).

Notes

• Do not distribute the Imaging OCX files with your application, because doing so will not install Imaging for Windows correctly.  Instead, have your users set up the entire Imaging for Windows application to ensure that all of the required software is installed and registered properly.
  
  
• This document assumes that users of Imaging for Windows 95 are using the OSR2 release, available free of charge from the Eastman Software Web site, at:
