confirming I'm using pdmw wgroup 2009 API

Hello,

I'm writing an app that is interacting with pdmworks2009 workgroupvault. I want to make sure that the PDMWORKS.dll that I am using isthe "latest" API .dll for pdmworks wg.

the one I am using has a version of "17.1.0.74" and is approx.4.7MB in size.

Generally speaking, what directory on my machine does thisPDMWORKS.dll typically reside in?


does this .dll have to be registered before I can use it? What if Irun my program on a computer that does NOT have "solidworksexplorer 2009" installed on it. In this circumstance, I would keepa copy of the .dll in the same directory as the executable of mymain program.

I sometimes get confused as to when a solidworks or pdmworks .dllhas to be registered, vs. times when you can just copy it into yourworking directory...

thanks for any comments...
