Redistributing Providers

To redistribute a provider built with the Microsoft® OLE DB Simple Provider (OSP) Toolkit, you need to do the following:

Register the provider on each computer. To do so, copy, edit, and run the Provider Registration template supplied with the OSP Toolkit (the RegisterProvider.reg file) on each computer. Be sure to rename the RegisterProvider.reg file. You supply a ProgID, name, and GUID for your full provider, and then point to the name of your component's Data Object.
Install and register the OLE DB Simple Provider DLL (Msdaosp.dll).
Install the Data Object component on each computer, and register it as a regular COM object. There are no special restrictions about what this file is named or where it is placed.
