Installing AspGrid
To install AspGrid, download and run the setup application aspgrid.exe . The aspgrid.exe setup will install both the AspGrid component (aspgrid.dll) and all the documentation into a directory on your hard drive that you specify during installation. Typically, it is c:\Program Files\Persits Software\AspGrid, but it can be any otherdirectory. The install routine will automatically register the component DLL on your machine. During installation, your IIS-related services will be shut down and restarted.
If you need to move the AspGrid component to another server, it is sufficient to copy the file aspgrid.dll (located under the \Bin subdirectory of the installation) to the other machine and register it there using the regsvr32command-line utility. You may copy the file aspgrid.dll to any folder on the second server's hard drive, e.g. c:\winnt\system32. To register the dll, run the MS DOS prompt and type the command
regsvr32 c:\winnt\system32\aspgrid.dll
You must specify another path if necessary. If this server is already running an older version of AspGrid, you must remove it from memory prior to registering a newerversion by shutting down all IIS services. To do that, type the following command at your DOS prompt:
net stop iisadmin /y
To bring the WWW service back up, type the command
net start w3svc
Other IIS services can be restarted from the Services control panel.
