Packaging GeoBase With Your Application

This topic describes the files and procedures necessary to package GeoBase with your application.

The simplest deployment is to install the two DLLs, the license file and the data subdirectory to the same location.

The following files are required in order to use GeoBase

• geobase.dll

• geobase64.dll

• geobase.net.dll

• A license file

• .GBFS data file(s)

Tip
geobase64.dll is used by 64-bit GeoBase applications and is not required on 32-bit systems

The two DLL files required by GeoBase are geobase.dll and geobase.net.dll. The geobase64.dll is only required when running 64-bit applications.

• geobase.dll

  Should be stored in the same directory as your application and the same directory as the geobase.net.dll

  May be copied to the 'Windows\system32' directory

• geobase64.dll

  Required only for 64-bit applications

  Should be stored in the same directory as your application

• geobase.net.dll

  Should be stored in the same directory as your application

  Do not put into the GAC (Global Assembly Cache)

Note

geobase.net.dll will look for its corresponding native DLL in one of three locations: In the same directory that geobase.net.dll resides. In %windir%\System32, or if running a 32-bit app on 64-bit Windows, in %windir%\SysWOW64 At the location specified by the BinDir registry key, stored at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telogis\GeoBase. If running a 32-bit app on 64-bit Windows, you will need to create a duplicate key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Telogis\Geobase. You should be able to observe both of these keys on the workstation with your SDK installed.
