Updating .NET dlls and ObjectARX applications of an OEM product

By Adam Nagy

Issue

We have an OEM application which is using .NET dlls and ObjectARX applications. We would like to update these on the customer's computer without having to reinstall the product. Is it possible to do it?

Solution

Yes, it is possible. Just follow these steps:

1. Rebuild your .NET and ObjectARX applications
2. Rebind them using OEM Make Wizard, which will update the files in [AutoCAD OEM folder]\oem\[OEM Project folder]
3. Replace the existing .NET dlls and arx files in the install folder of your product on the customer's computer with the newly created ones residing in the above folder
