DLL's

[HarryC]

I've already asked the question about if your program is already
installed on a computer, then any updates to the EXE I can just over
write the existing EXE with out a full install and the answer is yes.
Can I do the same thing with a DLL ?

A newer version will overwrite the DLL of the same name, but it will need to
still be registered. Your new EXE can do that.

Note that this is why side-by-side was implemented since XP; -to avoid "DLL
hell"! Better to run reg-free using a manifest...
