Question on install location

[DerFarm]

I've compiled a suf job, with all the files necessary (DLL, OBJ, TLB, etc) in one directory ... named after the project name.

I noticed after the build, that the files were being placed into the Appdir. Is this of importance? I would actually prefer NOT to overwrite the current dll's, but will it affect the performance ... ie: will the silly thing break in the midst of running?

any thoughts

Re: Question on install location

It is generally fine to put DLLs in the same dir as your application as long as they are not COM components. ActiveX/COM DLLs that need to be registered should usually be placed in the %SysDir% because they are shared components and when registered always point to the last location that they were registered from.
