ifdlg100.dll in an installer

How should ifdlg100.dll be deployed in an installer? On a machine without ifdlg100.dll  there isn't a problem but what should be done if there is an older or newer version of ifdlg100.dll already registered? It might be assumed that the most recent version would work with older IVF code. Is that the case? If so, should the older version be unregistered before the new version is registered or can there be multiple versions registered?

You can have only one version registered - each time you run regsvr32, it "replaces" the existing registration. I would recommend using the Windows Installer merge module we provide for the redistributables.

However, you should always use the newest version of the DLLs.

Thanks Steve. Currently I don't use the redistributables as I link with the static libraries and it seems like a lot of overhead just for ifdlg100.dll.
