Note: this step is needed on GN4 servers and on a Back4 servers. If you have more servers, perform registering on all the related servers.

The COM components are typically stored in the \TERA\GN4\COM folder. The listed components needs to be registered.

Important:

•Open the Command Prompt in the 'Run as Administrator' mode, otherwise it won't work!

•Stop IIS or Back4 service before registering COM components and restart it when done.

•It is recommended to unregister first, and then re-register.

•You need to repeat this on each system update or upgrade.

•In order to be able to register and use PDFlib, the Normalizer and PDF resources must be installed together with other files and prerequisites as explained in Install downloaded prerequisites on a GN4 server.
