Installation
Deploying the Signature SDK
Installation
The SDK is installed as a set of ActiveX/COM components in the folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\WacomGSS
When the 32-bit version is installed on 64-bit Windows the components are installed in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\WacomGSS
Language translation files are included with the installation so that the native Windows language is used in the signature capture dialog.
The installation requires COM registration with a number of supporting entries in the Windows registry and this is achieved by running the SDK MSI installer.
Due to the complexity of the installation process it is not practical to mimic the operations with a script but a number of options are provided for automation.
UI Installation
Run the installer to display the options dialog:
Options are included for Java and .Net components.
Following an installation the installed files can be seen in Common Files\WacomGSS folder, for example:
| .NET Components | Java Components | ActiveX Controls | Language Translation Files | Support Files |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Florentis.InteropAxFlSigCOM.dll | flsx.dll | FlSigCapt.dll | de | FlCaptureAnalyzer.exe |
| Florentis.InteropAxFlWizCOM.dll | flsx.jar | FlSigCOM.dll | en | wgssStuImgUploader.exe |
| Florentis.InteropFlSigCapt.dll | wgssLicenceJNI.dll | FlWizCOM.dll | es | |
| Florentis.InteropFlSigCOM.dll | wgssLicenceJNI.jar | wgssLicenceClient.dll | etc. | |
| Florentis.InteropFlWizCOM.dll |
To add Java or .NET components after an installation run the installer again and select the Change option in Windows to redisplay the options dialog.
In addition to the creation and registration of component files, items are added to the Windows Start menu: Wacom Signature SDK.
Command Line Installation
Use the command line to tailor the installation by using the standard Windows MSI installation application.
For example to install the minimum components for a Java application with no Start Menu options:
msiexec /q MINIMAL=1 JAVA=1 /i Wacom-Signature-SDK-x86-4.8.1.msi
A number of options are available so that specific components can be installed with or without a full SDK installation:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| MINIMAL=1 | Exclude Windows shortcuts and utilities |
| JAVA=1 | Include Java Components |
| DOTNET=1 | Include .NET Components |
| WIN32=0 | Exclude x86 components from x64 installer (by default the x64 installer will install both 32- and 64-bit components) |
| ADDPATH=Win32 | Add 32-bit component folders to system PATH |
| ADDPATH=Win64 | Add 64-bit component folders to system PATH |
| WIZARDSHOWWAIT=0 | Disable the hourglass icon displayed by the Wizard control on the STU-430 and STU-530 |
| STUSHARED=1 | Use shared (non-exclusive) access to an STU tablet |
