To install a new CAPE-OPEN unit operation or property package, execute the install program provided by the vendor. The install program should perform all actions necessary to copy the files to your computer and set up the required entries in the Windows Registry. After installation, you can launch PRO/II and immediately use the new CAPE-OPEN software components.
Note: If the CAPE-OPEN unit operation does not have an installation program, then you will need to manually register the unit operation by following these steps:
Identify the DLL file of the CAPE-OPEN unit operation.
Type "regsvr32 myunitop.dll", where "myunitop.dll" is the name of the DLL of the CAPE-OPEN unit operation.
Identify the "progid" of the CAPE-OPEN unit operation. The "progid" is a short text string, such as "SimSci.Mixer" that Windows uses to identify the DLL. Contact the developer of the unit operation to determine the "progid".
From the command prompt, type "CapeRegister.exe progid". "CapeRegister.exe" is a utility available in the PRO/II "bin" directory. "progid" is the short text string described in step 3.
