>>I've been reading about Win2K plans to "locally" (i.e., outside the main System dir) install runtime DLLs for a "parallel" standard. Not quite sure exactly how it would work, whether each app directory would have a set of DLLs, or whether there would be separate System sub-directories for DLLs. From articles, I surmise all VS tools would be included. Anyone have details on this? I guess this would begin in VS7...

Let me extract some of that text to make my question more clear:
"whether each app directory would have a set of DLLs, or whether there would be separate System sub-directories for DLLs."
So, my question is, which of these will it be? This could actually have a serious difference under Win2K, where some directories are writable and some are not (System) with strict security standards on some of our subnets...
