I have purchased the ISAPILoader. How do I use the DLL once I've compiled
the program.
Cheers

Rename your isapidll application as appname.update, then rename the
isapiloader.dll as your appname.dll.
e.g. if your app is called myisapi.dll then rename this myisapi.update, then
call the isapiloader.dll myisapi.dll. Once you access your web page the
..update file will be renamed myisapi.run
To update in the future just add your latest program into the directory and
name it myisapi.update

Thanks Alan.
Just a note to all developers selling and producing components etc.
You have to remember some of us are at the idiot level. I have produced lots
of database applications but in this instance I do not know an ISAP from a
DLL.
With this app I just need to be able to update my app and get it running on
the server ASAP, hence why I bought the component. I would not necessarily
have any experience with the usage of the component and its implementation.
This also goes for installation routines, please automatically install the
component, help files and paths as part of the install.
Therefore please try and include very basic(Idiot level) instructions and a
simple example on your web sites.
Cheers
SteveW.

Note taken.
I agree that the usage instructions can be made better, I apologize for the
problems/delays it has caused you.

Do they include the comments I sent you a couple of years ago William?
I still think they should!

2 years ago... believe it or I found that email.
(
To anyone reading this thread, the issue is the possibility of someone
downloading the .run file and taking out unencrypted connection strings or other
security things.
)
I will add it to the documentation, and a way to avoid the security problem.
The way to avoid the problem is to not allow read access of the directory the
loader is in, only allow execute and that will prevent anyone from downloading
and analyzing the .run file.
