Re: [DQSD-Users] The (errant) history of DQSD
Yeah, this is where we have some problem, and I'm not sure we can help it. I think closing the toolbar does not automatically unload the DLL for a variety of reasons and I'm not sure there's a documented way to force it. For some reason, the uninstall/install combo does not properly update the DQSDTools.dll, presumably because it's still locked by explorer.exe. As far as I know, the only safe way to make it work is to reboot after uninstalling DQSD, which should force the DLL to be writable. Sorry about the hassle, - Kim DQSD uses NSIS right? Which version does it use? According to the following links, with 2.01, there's a Library Installation System which is supposed to take care of DLLs in use. So this may be a matter of updating the installation scripts: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/What_is_the_best_way_to_upgrade_a_%28system%29_DLL_file http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/AppendixB.html Thanks, Ozgur _ Explore the seven wonders of the world http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+worldmkt=en-USform=QBRE- Take Surveys.

Thanks for that. :) Great! ..and, for the record, I was a good boy -- I actually closed the toolbar before I chose to 'uninstall software' from the control panel, so it _shouldn't_ have been resident in memory during the uninstall process. :) Yeah, this is where we have some problem, and I'm not sure we can help it.

Thanks again. :) - brian Try ditching the registry hacks now as well, that should definitely not be necessary. It seems the problem is that the old DQSD isn't properly unloaded, and enters into some kind of conflict with the new one -- my guess is that you were actually seeing DQSD 3.1.9.2 in your taskbar when you got the security warning. I'm on the road so I won't be replying regularly, but I thought I'd post my hunch... Cheers, - Kim - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
