<a name="B"></a><h1>Appendix B: DLL/TLB Library Setup</h1>
<a name="B.1"></a><h2>B.1 Introduction</h2>
<p>The Library header file can be used to setup dynamic link libraries (DLL) and type libraries (TLB). If necessary, the following actions will be performed:</p>
<ul>
<li>File copying</li><li>File copying on reboot</li><li>Version checks</li><li>Registration and unregistration</li><li>Registration and unregistration on reboot</li><li>Shared DLL counting</li><li>Windows File Protection checks</li></ul>
<p>The macros are stored in the header file Library.nsh, which should be included in scripts using this system:</p>
<pre>!include Library.nsh
</pre>
<p>Note that the library macros are limited on non-Windows platforms. DLL version information is required when compiling on non-Windows platforms.</p>
<a name="B.2"></a><h2>B.2 Library Installation</h2>
<a name="B.2.1"></a><h3>B.2.1 Introduction</h3>
<p>The InstallLib macro allows you to install a library. It sets the error flag if something went wrong during library setup.</p>
<p>To ask the user for a reboot, if required, use the Modern UI with a Finish page or use <a href="Chapter4.html#4.9.4.11">IfRebootFlag</a> and make your own page or message box.</p>
<a name="B.2.2"></a><h3>B.2.2 Parameters</h3>

<p><b>shared</b></p>
<p>Specify whether the library is shared with other applications</p>
<p>NOTSHARED - The library is not shared<br> $VARNAME - Variable that is empty when the application is installed for the first time, which is when the shared library count will be increased.<br></p>
<p><b>install</b></p>
<p>Specify the installation method</p>
<p>REBOOT_PROTECTED</p>
<ul>
<li>Upgrade the library on reboot when in use (required for system files).</li><li>Upgrade the library if the file is not protected by Windows File Protection.</li></ul>
<p>NOREBOOT_PROTECTED</p>
<ul>
<li>Warns the user when the library is in use. The user will have to close applications using the library.</li><li>Upgrade the library if the file is not protected by Windows File Protection.</li></ul>
<p>REBOOT_NOTPROTECTED</p>
<ul>
<li>Upgrade the library on reboot when in use (required for system files).</li><li>Upgrade the library without checking for Windows File Protection.</li></ul>

<p>Directory on the user's system to store a temporary file when the system has to be rebooted.</p>
<p>For Windows 9x/ME support, this directory should be on the same volume as the destination file (destfile). The Windows temp directory could be located on any volume, so you cannot use this directory.</p>
