5.7.1.1 Installing the plug-in manually

To install the plug-in manually, users should:

1. Copy "NPacu32.dll", "acme.dll", "vic32.dll", and "wrun32.dll" to their browser's "plugins" directory. If multiple instances of the plug-in will be run, or if multiple COBOL programs will be run, also copy "wrun32.exe" into this directory. If a runtime license will reside locally, the license file must be installed in this directory as well. See section 5.8 Licensing Considerations for additional information.

2. Copy "mfc42.dll" and "msvcrt.dll" to their Windows DLL search path (typically, the c:\windows\system directory on Windows 95/98 or c:\winnt\system32 on Windows NT/2000).

These files can be found in the AcuGT\bin directory on the ACUCOBOL-GT distribution media and they are included in the plug-in distribution that can be downloaded from the Web. If you plan to enable local file access, users should add "acuauth.txt" to their "plugins" directory as well. Caution users not to overwrite newer versions of these files.


Please note: If "wrun32.exe" cannot be installed in the same directory as "NPacu32.dll" as noted in step #1 above, the application/vnd.acucobol MIME type must be associated with the ".acu" file extension and the OPEN command must be registered with a command line that contains the full path to "wrun32.exe" followed by a space and "%1" in quotes.

For example, the following registry entries would be set if the runtime was installed in "c:\acucorp\acucbl520\acugt\bin":

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.acu
 (Default) "acufile"
 Content Type "application/vnd.acucobol"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\acufile\Shell\OPEN\command
 (Default) "c:\acucorp\acucbl520\acugt\bin\wrun32.exe "%1""

The following two entries are optional:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\acufile\DefaultIcon
 (Default) "c:\acucorp\acucbl520\acugt\bin\wrun32.exe,0"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\acufile\Shell\OPEN
