EZ-Scan can be customized by adding custom reports, exports, imports, tools and plug-ins. You may at some point have to install a component. The installation of a custom component is a 3 step process. You must install the component itself (typically a .dll file), register the component, and then merge the registry settings for that component. This is an advanced tutorial. This should only be attempted by and administrator. PST will not be responsible for any damage to the operating system.
You must be logged in as an administrator to install any EZ-Scan components. You will be supplied with a .dll file from PST that contains the custom component (ex. pstExpAch.dll is the ACH Export component). Copy the file to your windows system32 directory. Typically this is 'C:\Windows\System32"
Double click on the newly copied file. You will see the following dialog box:
You will then see the 'Windows cannot open this file:' dialog box. Select 'Select the program from a list' and click 'OK'.
You will then see the 'Open With' dialog box.
If Microsoft(C) Register Server is in the list, then select it. If not, then click the 'Browse' button and browse to 'C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe' NOTE: Be sure of the spelling. There will be programs with similar names in this directory. Highlight 'regsvr32.exe' and click 'Open'.
You will be brought back to the 'Open With' dialog box.
Check the 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' check box. Then click 'OK'. You will receive a confirmation dialog box if the registration was successful.
In the future if you need to register a PST dll, all you will have to do is double click it and it register automatically.
Each component will have a corresponding .reg file. It should be located in the Setup folder in the EZ-Scan application directory. By default that will be 'C:\EZ-Scan\Setup\' although this will vary if you installed to a different directory. The file will be named the same as the component, but with a .reg extension. For instance if you installed the file 'pstExpACH.dll' in the System32 directory, then you will need the file named pstExpACH.reg. It may be have an underscore as the first character in some instances ('_pstExpACH.dll). If the file is not located in the Setup folder contact PST to receive your .reg file.
Double click on the corresponding .reg file and you will get the following prompt:
Click 'Yes' and you will get the following confirmation of the settings merge:
You component is now ready to use.
