The Remote Automation Connection Manager
| Overview | How Do I | Sample
To configure both client and server machines, you need to make registry changes. Rather than doing this by hand, it is far easier to use the Remote Automation Connection Manager (RAC Manager) tool. This tool, RACMGR32.EXE, along with RACREG32.DLL, needs to be copied to any directory you choose. By putting it in the PATH, it can be executed from the task bar using Run. Alternatively, you can create a shortcut to it or place a reference to it on the Start menu.
RACMGR32 is written in Visual Basic and therefore needs some Visual Basic support DLLs. These files may be found in the same directory on the CD; for more information, see . The versions of these files that are installed by the Setup for Visual C++ Enterprise Edition are equivalent or more recent than those that shipped with Visual Basic Enterprise Edition 5.0. The Visual C++ Setup copies the new versions of the Visual Basic files to your system directory. For Windows 95, this directory is typically C:\Windows\System. For Windows NT, it is typically C:\Windows\System32. Setup also registers these files with the operating system. You may remove them from your Visual Basic installation if you wish.
