Issue/Introduction

What DLLs for Aion runtime are required for distributed development?

For example, which exact files are required without Aion already installed?

 

Environment

Release:
Component: AIONBR

Resolution

To know which DLL files you will need to export to a computer that does not have Aion installed, it is recommended to perform the following.

In any Aion application, preferably one with a Main entry class of _System type and a Start method, Right-mouse-click on the "Classes" tree item. Choose Properties, then the directories tab. In the Executable Directory, put in "..\exe". Hit OK, and save the application.

Build the application, and if successful, it will create a child directory "exe" relative to the Aion application .app file location on the local hard disk. Open this exe directory and observe the files that are included by default:

 C:\exampleDir\exe>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.

All the files that are seen, are the minimum. Your application can have other .dll files as a result of self-written included libraries.
