>>FWIW, we distribute them in the installation directory. Unless you put them there or in the [SystemFolder] then you aren't assured that your applicaton can find it using a search path. And it appears from your message that not all users will have admin rights when they install your app so that leaves one logical place, IMO.

Interesting - but I would still put them in the [SystemFolder]. Look at it this way - if they don't have rights to be putting anything there, then how are they installing it anyway? What about the foxpro runtime dll's? If those can be put there, so can the dynazip dll's....right?
