Purpose This document contains instructions on how to redistribute EPSON RC+ projects to field installations. There are two methods. Both methods install source code on the target system. Currently, using only object files for redistribution is not supported.
Method 1 This method uses the Project | Copy function in EPSON RC+ to create a floppy disk containing the project files.
On the development system:
- Build and run the project to ensure there are no errors.
- Select Project | Copy and select the destination drive, such as a floppy disk.
On the target system:
- Start EPSON RC+.
- Select Project | Open and open the project on the floppy disk.
- Select Project | Save As to save the project on the hard disk.
- Select Project | Build to build the project.
- Close EPSON RC+.
Method 2 The method installs the required files onto the target system.
On the development system:
- Build and run the project to ensure there are no errors. In this example, the project is called myapp.
- Create a new directory called \redist\myapp on the distribution media, such as floppy disk.
- Copy all files from \epsonrc\projects\myapp to \redist\myapp.
- In the \redist\myapp directory, open the file myapp.pmk with notepad.
- Change the RebuildReqd property to True.
- If you don't want to update point files, then delete all .PNT files in the \redist\myapp directory.
On the target system:
- Copy all of the files from \redist\myapp to \epsonrc\projects\myapp.
- If using the Operator Window, then when EPSON RC+ is started, the project will automatically be rebuilt.
- If using VB Guide, ensure that you execute SPELCom.BuildProject during initialization.
