Hi,
I am playing with Python Win32 COM features, now.
If I have Python as the COM server, VB (Visual Basic) as the client, it
works great and it's fun. But what about installation and distribution, if I
want my software to be used by others?
The thing is, the COM server needs to be registered to the particular
machine, and this process is a bit manual. How can I automate that part?
(generation of the Globally Unique Id: GUID... I suppose each machine would
have a different GUID).
In general, if I have written something that uses COM to hook up Python to
VB, how packageable will it be? It'll be nice if the end user only need to
do a few clicks to get all of Python+Win32+VB installed. It'll be too ugly
to ask them to install Python, Win32, and then the VB executable all
separately. Any advices?
thanks,
Hung Jung
