- Using a Framework-dependent executable
- Using a self-contained executable
- Using the common WINDEV Framework
The WINDEV Framework is the set of libraries (.DLL files) required to run a WINDEV application. When creating the executable, you can choose: - a Framework-dependent executable,
- a self-contained executable,
- the common WINDEV Framework.
Using a Framework-dependent executable When using a Framework-dependent executable, the libraries are installed in the directory of each application. Therefore, each WINDEV application uses its own version of the libraries. Libraries can be renamed when you use a Framework-dependent executable. Advantages of using a Framework-dependent executable: - Each application can use a different version of the Framework DLLs.
- The Framework of a given application can be updated without affecting other applications.
- The Framework can be renamed.
Using a self-contained executable When the Framework is included in the executable file, it is a self-contained executable. The Framework DLLs are not extracted when the executable file is run. Advantages of using a self-contained executable: - Self-contained executable.
- The Framework DLLs are not extracted.
Note: Depending on the features used by the application, it may not be possible to use a self-contained executable. Using the common WINDEV Framework When you use the common Framework, the libraries are installed in a common directory. These libraries are shared between all the WINDEV applications installed on the same computer. Advantages of the common Framework: - The disk space used by the Framework (about 30 MB) is shared between all the applications.
- The Framework is updated only once for all the applications installed.
- The common Framework can be renamed.
Note: When you use the common Framework, you can replace one or more DLLs (if a specific version is required, for example).
