MOD2000: How to Distribute Replication Manager 4.0 by Using the Package and Deployment Wizard?

• Microsoft Office 2000 Developer

SUMMARY

You can use the "Package and Deployment" Wizard to distribute Microsoft Replication Manager version 4.0 with a Microsoft Access 2000 run-time application.

In order to distribute Replication Manager 4.0 and its associated files, include the Replman.exe file along with any other files that are to be distributed with your run-time application. Replman.exe has an associated dependency file (Replman.dep). This dependency file allows the "Package and Deployment" Wizard to automatically include the other files required to run Replication Manager 4.0.

MORE INFORMATION

In earlier versions of Office Developer, the Setup Wizard provided a list of components that you could include with a run-time application. By selecting Microsoft Replication Manager from the list of components, Replication Manager was included with your application. The "Package and Deployment" Wizard, however, does not provide a similar list of components.

To include Microsoft Replication Manager 4.0 with an application built by the "Package and Deployment" Wizard, follow these steps:

1. In Microsoft Access 2000, open the database that you want to include in the package.



2. Press ALT+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.



3. On the Add-ins menu, click Package and Deployment Wizard. If Package and Deployment Wizard is not listed on the Add-ins menu, click Add-in Manager, and then load the wizard.



4. Click Package.



5. Click Next on the first two pages of the wizard, and unless you need to change the settings for your specific application, accept the default settings for the Package Type and Package Folder dialog boxes.



6. On the Included Files page, click to select the Include Access Runtime check box.
   
   NOTE: If you do not click to select the Include Access Runtime check box, you receive the following error message during installation of your application if Access 2000 is not already installed on the computer:




The application you are installing requires Microsoft Access 2000. Setup cannot continue.

7. Click Add.



8. Browse to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Replication Manager 4.0 folder.



9. In the Files of Type list, click Applications (*.exe).



10. Click Replman.exe, and then click Open. In addition to Repleman.exe, the following files are added to the list of included files:



• Msremr40.dll
• Msrpfs40.dll
• Mstrai40.exe
• Mstran40.exe
• Rplman40.cnt
• Rplman40.hlp


11. Continue through the wizard by clicking Next. On each page, make any changes that your application requires.



12. On the Finished page, type a script name, and then click Finish.



13. Close the report that is displayed when the package is completed.

1. In Microsoft Access 2000, press ALT+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.



2. On the Add-ins menu, click Package and Deployment Wizard. If Package and Deployment Wizard is not listed on the Add-ins menu, click Add-in Manager, and then load the wizard.



3. Click Deploy.



4. Click Next.



5. On the Package to Deploy page, click the script name that you entered in step twelve of the previous procedure.



6. Continue through the wizard by clicking Next. On each page, make any changes that your application requires.



7. On the Finished page, type a script name, and then click Finish.
