<DIV><SPAN class=331572512-18032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>BTW,
this is one of the things that .NET is supposed to bring to the table, no more
overwriting system DLLs. Since the runtime for .net is only about 20 megs,
you can literally "xcopy" an entire copy of your system, complete with the
runtime that you use, into a specific directory and tat is what is used for your
app. You don't overwrite other peoples stuff, they don't overwrite
yours.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Installation protocol<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I'd like to know from you who
install your VB apps on other people's machines whether it's normal practice
to overwrite system dll's that are older than the one you're sending out,
without asking or telling? A user here installed a demo which installed a
version of oleaut32.dll. Their version was newer but it stll messed up my
Access app, specifically where it talked to Outlook. Do I have a
grouse?<BR><BR>--<BR>Andy
