Installation

Use the setup.exe program to install CryptoSys API onto your computer. To uninstall, use the the Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs option from Windows. Instructions on how to distribute the product to third-party users are provided with the Licensed Developer version - see the file distrib.txt for more details.

Important: You must use the setup.exe program to install the Personal and Server Trial versions on your system and you must have administrator rights when installing or uninstalling either of these versions.

Core executable DLL

The core executable file is diCryptoSys.dll which is a Win32 DLL. This file must exist in the library search path on the user's system for all programming language interfaces. The executable diCryptoSys.dll is not registered with RegSvr32 (it can't be). The VB6/VBA and C/C++ interfaces access this core executable directly.

Wrapper DLLs

Two wrapper executables are provided to allow COM and .NET programming access to the core executable. Both require the core Win32 DLL to exist in the library search path.

1. diCryptOCX.dll is an ActiveX DLL which exposes various classes to allow programming access from ASP, VBScript and other COM applications including VB. This DLL does require registering. To register, copy the diCryptOCX.dll to a convenient folder, open a command-line window, and type

   REGSVR32 myfolder\diCryptOCX.dll
   

2. diCrSysAPINet.dll is a .NET Class Library which exposes various classes to allow programming access from C# and VB.NET projects. This file is referenced from your .NET project. It is not registered.
