To migrate existing clients to use the new .NET Framework runtime environment and CEWindowsAPI (or CEWindowsAPIJavaStyle) you must have the .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher installed on all client computers.
If you are using the CEWindowsAPIJavaStyle interface, the following new .dll files must be copied to each client machine:
CEdotNET.dll
CEWindowsAPI.dll
CEWindowsAPIJavaStyle.dll
Note: The Component Enabler version 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.1 CEWindows.dll file is not compatible with the Component Enabler version 7.0 CEWindows.dll file.
After copying the files, each file has to be registered. The Component Enabler installation includes a batch file called “RegisterCEdotNET.bat” file that performs the registrations for you.
If you are using the CEWindowsAPI, you do not need to copy the CEWindowsAPIJavaStyle.dll, and therefore it should not be registered. You need to modify the RegisterCEdotNET.bat' to exclude this dll from registration.
Note: If you are using the CEWindowsAPIJavaStyle interface, you still need to copy and register the CEWindowsAPI interface, as the Java Style interface calls methods on the CEWindowsAPI interface, which in turn calls the Java or .NET Framework runtime environment. Refer to the individual sections below for how to change each client type to use the new .NET Framework runtime environment.
