Just off hand ... Wouldn't you also need Microsoft .NET installed on any machine that is going to run a program that uses the .NET API?

So it contains all of the files (most important being BMC.ARSystem.DLL, then arcni71.dll then the typical AR C API binaries such as arapi71/arrpc71/arutl71.dll/so on, then their dependencies such as icuXXX.dll etc; also the cmdb*.dll as well) one needs to build an AR API application using .NET/COM environments. As you can quickly validate by extracting this distribution to a folder and comparing the contents with that of a User Tool instance -- there is quite a overlap between these files. If you want to distribute AR .NET API app into a system that already has **matching** version User Tool -- then technically speaking --- you can do this : a. User User Tool installation directory as .NET API install dir as well; b. Copy over the .NET API distributed files onto User Tool installation dir (to be safe, you could back up original dir; OR choose to copy only .NET API specific files alone, about 3-5 of them & ignore copying pre-existing same named files); c. then complete the installation steps described in readme. Things should work just fine. While that is the case, I suggest you to consider aspects such as -- testing this approach on a dev box; pros/cons of keeping .NET API install dir separate from User Tool's (Vs. overloading User Tool install dir as that of .NET API's as well) Appajee ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) on behalf of Jarl Grøneng Sent: Fri 10/12/2007 7:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: .NET api and related files Hi, I now, but that was not my question. My question was if I need additionals dll's to use the .NET api on a client where the user tool is installed. - Jarl On 10/12/07, CONDREA, Daniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Jarl, > > There is no need for User Tool to use ".NET api" > > If you need just to read data from an ARS server you do not need ".NET api". > Use ARODBC to read data from an ARS server. > > Best regards, > Daniel Condrea > > -----Original Message----- > From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL > PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jarl Grøneng > Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 12:40 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: .NET api and related files > > Hi, > > There is a need to create an excel sheet that does a query into AR System.
