Hi, Thanks for the prompt reply and the question. I am making an alteration to the features available on a VOIP dialer. My customers require a the dialer not to show the rates or available call time. To achieve this I needed to change the information on one of the dll files. FYI after installation of the application, if I edit that particular .dll file within the application folder and run the dialer, it works very well. But the customer cannot do this. I need to provide the installer file with the modified dll file. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards. Mohideen.
