Brian,

Thanks for the additional thoughts.

I have generally relied on Installshield too, with its path variables and virtual folders like SYSTEM_FOLDER.

You've already been generous with your time, so I'll toss this out to anyone listening.

How does one use IS to install and register a specific dll? I've always used the canned merge modules that magically took care of this. I know how to use the IS file operation to copy MyDZ.dll to SYSTEM_FOLDER, but what about the registry step? Does this require a handwritten registry entry of some sort?

TIA

>The controls are found via their registry entries and that is what is used for the location. That way they can be found easily even if someone puts them in the wrong directory(as long as they register it there)
