Hi.

We have a C++Builder6 and a Delphi7 app on the same PC. They both use
MIDAS.DLL. I've copied the correct version of MIDAS.DLL to the runtime path
of each app, but you still need to register the MIDAS.DLL file. Once
registered, both apps work, but one of them would be using the wrong version
of the DLL. How can I get each of the apps to use the proper version of
MIDAS.DLL?

Thanks.
Ryno.

My experience is that MIDAS.DLL is downwards-compatible, i.e. you can
safely use the latest version of the MIDAS.DLL, which should work with
all your MIDAS applications.

Just make sure to register the latest one (last - so it overwrites the
registration of the older version of MIDAS.DLL).

Also, you can download the latest version of MIDAS.DLL from Dan Miser's
website, see http://distribucon.com/blog/archive/2004/05/12/220.aspx

LMFAO - From the blog: Another twenty or so reasons to go with .NET
(Besides the .dll hell reason).

AFAIK they are backwards compatible. Register the newest version.

Another alternative is to link midas in (there is a unit you can
include called midas*something*
