DLL Redistribution Question

I am about to deploy an application developed using Intel Visual Fortran v8.1. I need to send several of the redistributable DLLs (libifportmd.dll, libifcoremd.dll, etc.) along with it. Is there a "generally accepted" place to install these? Microsoft usually puts the VC++ runtime DLLs in the Windows system folders, but it doesn't appear that Intel does this by default. Should I install them in the application folder?

Microsoft would rather you install them along side the application EXE. They also don't follow their own advice. Seeing as these are language support DLLs, putting them in Windows or Windows System, as MS does, would seem more practical, but if your application is an EXE, putting the DLLs in the same folder is probably the best bet.
