How to get the benefits of OpenDCL without installing it?

Hello every body,

Recently, I discovered a treasure . It's OpenDCL Studio . But to use its abilities in making dialogs, obviously the programmer must install the program (i.e. OpenDCL) in advance. Is there any way to make dialog(s) by OpenDCL, write associated program in AutoLISP, then convert it to VLX or Fas format, then simply load the autolisp program in another computer without installing OpenDCL? I mean using some ARX or Dll programs to do the initialization of OPENDCL command ?

What would be the benefit of going through all that just to avoid installing OpenDCL?

You can do that by installing only the OpenDCL runtime. But I think that you will have hard-time building and testing your interfaces…

I don’t understand why you want to avoid installing it if intend to use his features – I remember that is a freeware.

When you are programming for a simple user, perhaps it is necessary to do all the things (i.e. installing, copying files, etc.) by yourself and automatically.

thank you for your offer, I will use OpenDCL runtime.

I explained my reason for not installing OpenDCL Studio in my previous treat replying to ReMark.

Use the runtime (very easy) or go put the appropriate files on the network and load them from your startup file. Personally, I just have a check in the startup file that looks to see if each user has the runtime installed, if not, then it installs it for them. All they have to do is click OK and it's done.

It is also possible perhaps to download the necessary files from the internet through Visual LISP and run them - only a concept, but I would agree with the guys above.
