It's a nightmare---there are so many programs and programletts that refuse to work
because someone stomped on their dlls.
QUOTE: from a windows tech discussion program:
Hank's headache was caused by a common DLL demon: a rogue install program that doesn't
check versions before it copies DLLs into the system directory. Had that install
program compared the existing version of MFC42.dll with the installation version,
it would have skipped loading MFC42 and not caused his problem. I call this Type
I, or replacing a DLL with a previous version, DLL Hell. This is a very common problem
for Windows 9x users, especially those who download free software or copy programs
from friends. Modern professional software doesn't cause this problem because it
always checks versions before stomping on DLLs.
It looks like TweakUI did this to me. Someone please defend it if you think it isn't
true. And how do I uninstall TWeak?
