Hi Ralf,

Thank you for using Syncfusion Products.

Before we use Gecko we have to register GeckoWrapper.dll in the server.

 

Please make use of the SDK (shipped with install) available in the following location to register the assembly.

C:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\10.1.0.44\XulRunner-2.0.sdk\bin\

GeckoWrapper.dll is built in debug mode and it requires ATL90.dll & msvcr90d.dll to be present in the machine. Being debug assemblies, these cannot be shipped using xcopy method of deployment. Hence it is required to install VC++ 2008 (SP1) Express edition alone in the server.

Here are the steps to follow:

1.    Install Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition with SP1 from the following link:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/

2.    Copy the XulRunner-2.0.sdk to the server.

3.    Register the Syncfusion.GeckoWrapper.dll using the following command in command prompt:

regsvr32 Syncfusion.GeckoWrapper.dll

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Karthikeyan.C

Hi Karthikeyan,

thank you very much for your answer. Now i have 2 questions:

First: Can i use a newer Version from xul-Runner?

Second: The download-link for Visual C++ dosn't work. Must i install the express-edition when i have installed VS2008 Professional?

Hi Ralf,

And please let us know why you prefer Gecko engine over MSHTML rendering Engine for converting HTML to PDF.
