Re: Register DLL Question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I was reading the comment. It was even harder to understand. Didn't Bill
Gates want us to put all the OCX/DLL in the System32 folder? And the
problem I had following this "good practice" was that when there was a new
OCX, the old program would load the new OCX from the other program's folder.



"It is good practice to install application DLLs in the same directory that
contains the application, even if you are not using DLL redirection. This
ensures that installing the application does not overwrite other copies of
the DLL and cause other applications to fail. Also, if you follow this good
practice, other applications do not overwrite your copy of the DLL and cause
your application to fail."
