>>>The reason I asked was that the system directory path is usually different under NT, and (while it would be just as bad) that their installation program might be putting the files in the wrong place. It appears from what you're telling me that it's strictly using the environment path string, rather than going out and retrieving the system directory from the API. That is pretty sad. However, after working some with our PB people, I'm not surprised. Their solution is to dump all the necessary files in the run time directory. This would explain a lot< g >.

Guess what George, I saw Win2k and the new installer at Devdays today and that's the way they say things will be in the future. That way you don't have to worry about another product overwriting your installation. Additionally, the dllcache folder will contain a copy of every dll that gets installed so if a user deletes one, it will automatically copy it back.
