actually I don't know, my experience with Windows is limited :-( on OS X, if I distribute a folder containing an executable and a bunch of dynamic libraries, the folder where the executable is located is the first choice for searching the libraries, so I don't have to mess with library versions in any system library folders. on Windows I could not make this work. if this is possible, and you have a procedure to create a setup that does a reasonable job without messing other things, ok, I don't mind packing an executable and several dynamic libraries, I'll use it too. regards, Liviu
