Shared Libraries folder

Hi,

When I installed the latest version of the compiler, I chose the option of still keeping the previous version.  I just noticed that not all of the files were updated in the Shared Libraries folder.  Can you look at the attached pdf file to see what I mean.  I have not had any issues compiling or running the codes, so perhaps this is not a problem.  I just want to make sure nothing got messed up during installation.

That is interesting - I see the same thing on my system. I doubt it's really a problem, but it does mean that when you run programs that link to the DLL libraries that you're not getting all the latest DLLs. I'll let our install team know - this was probably just an oversight. Thanks for pointing this out!

I've escalated this to the developers. What I see is that the old and new versions of these three math library DLLs have the same "file version number", and the install won't replace DLLs in the Shared Libraries folder unless the new version number is higher. It may be that the developers missed updating the version number, or maybe decided to leave the number alone if there were no source changes. (However, I see that the file sizes are different...)  The issue ID is DPD200254179.

This will get fixed for Update 3, and hopefully won't happen again. (I will be asking our release validation team to add this to their checklist.) You can manually copy the DLL in if you like.
