Reg. Libguide40.dll versioning problem

[murali_523]

Hello,
In our project two applications uses two different vesions of IPP.One with older(4.1 version) and other 5.2 version.Therefore in the bin folder we find both the 4.1 and 5.2 IPP dlls.All 5.2 IPP dlls are suffixed by "-5.2".
But for Libguide40 dll the name is same in both versions.Therefore if we install the application-1(4.1 version) and the application 2(5.2 version) then 4.1 libguide.dll will be overwritten by 5.2 dll.If we install the application-2(4.1 version) first and theen application-1(4.1 version) then 5.2 libguide.dll will be overwritten by 4.1 dll.

As of now even though the Libguide is overwritten the applications are working fine.
Is there any possibulity that application may mal-function or crash if the version of libguide is different.

Thanks & Regards,
Muralidhar

Hi Muralidhar,

The expert comments on your question is:

Different versions of libguide40.dll should be compatible. When incompatibility is introduced, we change the name of dll (e.g. libiomp5md.dll).We dorecommend to use more recent version of two available OpenMP dlls.
