We receive a substantial number of questions regarding what to install on a client machine to be able to run an application that uses the DYMO SDK. Should it be DYMO Label software, DYMO Label SDK, or both?
The answer is — only DYMO Label software has to be installed on a client machine to enable/support DYMO SDK functionality. The DYMO Label software installer includes all necessary binaries needed to run an SDK application. It installs printer drivers, installs libraries and services, and registers the COM components. The latest production version of DYMO Label software installer can always be found on http://sites.dymo.com/Support/Pages/AllDriversUsers.aspx?Type=Drivers. Beta versions with extended SDK functionality are available on this blog.
By contrast, the DYMO Label SDK should be installed on a developer machine only. In fact, it is not required, because the DYMO Label SDK installer installs documentation and samples only. If you are familiar with the SDK API you might not need it at all. The latest version of the SDK installer is available on http://sites.dymo.com/DeveloperProgram/Pages/Software_Development_Kit.aspx. This blog contains some samples as well.
