Remote Automation Installation
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at Remote Automation Installation.
Remote Automation has relatively few components:
The Remote Automation client proxy, AUTPRX32.DLL.
The Remote Automation server-side component, the Automation Manager, AUTMGR32.EXE.
The RAC Manager, RACMGR32.EXE, with its matching RACREG32.DLL.
Of these, RAC Manager is written in Visual Basic and therefore needs the Visual Basic run-time support. These and the other Remote Automation files are installed by Setup when you install Visual C++ Enterprise Edition.
If you copy the Remote Automation components to a computer on which Visual C++ version Enterprise Edition is not installed, ensure that REGSRV32.EXE is on the computer's path, and register RACREG32.DLL using the following command line:
REGSRVR32 RACREG32.DLL
Note
Versions of RAC Manager before Visual C++ 5.0 required GUAGE32.OCX and TABCTL32.OCX. Neither of these is required for the version of RAC Manager that ships with Visual C++ Enterprise Edition, version 5.0 or later.
