DLL Installation

Q: How can I deploy my application without installing the SDK or registering the DLL?

1. C++

A C++ application can include the SDK C++ source code and consequently no further software installation is required.

2. .NET

.NET applications built using our STU SDK can be deployed without registering the DLL by including the interop as a reference in Visual Studio (side-by-side deployment).

3. Java

The same applies to Java deployments - the DLL is required in the same directory as the Java application but it does not have to be registered.
Java needs wgssSTU.jar and wgssSTU.dll in the installation directory.

4. Side-by-Side

Side by Side operation requires access to the wgssSTU.dll and interop files (no registration is required).

This method of operation is achieved in the project manifest file, for example:

  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="wgssSTU" version="2.1.2.0"/>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
