Ah, I see. We create full blown installers, so we can install and register anything we need. We never just copy files, since we have no control and no way of knowing what operating system or anything else will be on the target machine. However, it wouldn't be hard to copy the dll and run regsvr32 in your batch file to register it. Charlotte Foust -----Original Message----- From: John W.

The problem with that argument is that I don't use runtimes. Thus an "install" is nothing more than running a batch file that builds a directory, downloads my framework to the windows dir and the app to it's dir, then starts the app. Installing a dll means registering it (doesn't it?). If I could simply copy it somewhere and use it I would quiet my complaints considerably. John W.

XPosted Stuart and John, Since we install our applications on user systems, it hardly seems valid to quibble about installing the Redemption dll as well. We use redemption and find it very effective since it bypasses the MAPI calls that have been such a security problem and uses Extended MAPI instead.

XPosted I have 97, 2000 (SP3) and XP (SP2) on my dev machine. I use outlook XP for email currently, but don't use automation. I had considered giving this a look: http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/ Which supposedly works around the security patch, but is a com component which needs to be installed on systems.
