Install to the different directories then! How can you install the same app
(TCL in this case), but different version, to the same directory!? Then you
will overwrite msvcrt.dll to begin with, so one of the versions might not
work (?), TCL\Include dir will contain a mess, ALL the files like readme,
licence, install.log unvise etc. will be overwriten as well!!! NO THANKS!!!
>You can get the reg key from:

Yep, I found this one before, so I would have to build up my dll name string
from: tcl + key name, which I must also convert from '8.3' to '83' to
finally get: tcl83.dll. It does not make sense - I will rather provide the
setup option to point where the dll is and it's name as well. It is not
fancy, but it seems the only way then. I really don't feel like making a
lottlery over the dll name - if I have no registry DATA in the to say the
full name of the tcl dll's then I have only one way - ask the user to point
it out (hoping that HE knows...).
BR,
Jerzy
