install dll and runtime engine directories

[Woolie Willie]

I have noticed that my application (which tries to install the runtime engine in the windows system directory and the dll's there too) won't install on machines where the installer doesn't have supervisor rights. Will there be any problem if I set up the insyall program to put both the dll's and the runtime in the application directory?

Hello

I dont think it should be a problem as long as the dll's are in the same same folder as the application. Because thats one of the location the OS looks when it is trying to load up a dll for an executable. If you put the dll's in a sub folder of your application folder, that might be a problem. Then you might need to add that path information to your PATH enviornment variable for the OS to find it.

One other thing is that I hope the user wont try to mess around too much with the files in the application directory, because if he moves around the dll's, that wont be good.

I hope this helps
