D2005 Win XP SP2 Indy 10.0.20 libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll Hi, I am coming up against a problem related to how various versions of Windows search for DLLs , or at least I think that is the problem. I am developing on XP SP2 and am testing deployment. I am using Indy and as the App needs SSL I have the 2 DLLs it needs in the same directory as the application exe. On all my XP SP2 machines the deployment is fine. However, when the target machine is running XP SP1 the DLL search path seems to be forced straight to the Windows\System32 directory, where some other app has put the same (same name but different content) DLLs. My App doesn't like those DLLs and fails. (I can't actually get my paws on the target machine as it is in a distant location so I don't know yet what app is also using the SSL dlls) I don't want to simply overwrite the existing DLLs with my DLLs as that is just going to cause my App to work while screwing up whatever App is currently using them. Not an acceptable route. As this 'problem' must have surfaced many times I ask for your input as to the best strategy to adopt to resolve this.

Thanks John John - MS has a strategy called side-by-side. Here are a couple of links to start you off.
