ASP Installation

WordWriter.dll and collections.dll are .NET assemblies. WordWriter also includes a COM callable wrapper (CCW) that allows to use the .NET WordTemplate object from ASP. The assemblies must be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) to allow the CCW to work. Therefore, WordWriter automatically installs the assemblies in the GAC. If you removed the assemblies from the GAC, you must reinstall them in the GAC to use WordWriter in ASP.

1. Install WordWriter.dll and collections.dll in the Global Assembly Cache:
   
   
   1. Copy WordWriter.dll to C:\WINNT\Assembly.
   
   
   
   2. Copy collections.dll to C:\WINNT\Assembly.


2. Register WordWriterCOM.dll:
   
   
   1. Open a command prompt window and move to the directory WordWriter\doc-samples\bin. For example, enter cd WordWriter\doc-samples\bin.
   
   
   
   2. Enter regsvr32 WordWriterCOM.dll. A dialog box will inform you that WordWriterCOM.dll registered successfully; click Ok.
   
   
   
   3. Enter iisreset to reset IIS.

The CCW (WordWriterCOM.dll) is a COM object that makes internal calls to the WordWriter .NET assembly. Therefore, to use WordWriter in ASP, all of the system requirements for running WordWriter in ASP.NET must be satisfied.
