overwriting is OK

Hi,
 
No issue with overwriting here at all also....

Thanks!

I dislike what melda have done with this (or previous?) release, where they've started dropping shared dll's in the Windows directory - that's *really* had practice and I hope they amend that (I won't be updating until they do so).

Putting the common runtime into the Windows directory may be a lazy cheat, but hardly a reason not to update.

The main reason for not wanting to buy into it in this state is that something (like, er, Windows 10, say :-)) may stop this behaviour from working: I've been bitten by "non-standard" developments in the past that I want to select plug-ins/versions that are well-behaved and follow the Windows development rules.  Way less pain that way.

Actually, it's not so much "non-standard" as it is an obsolete standard. Moot difference, I admit. Either way, Microsoft could break it. Not like they have a history of doing that...
 
As a developer myself, I've had to deal with Microsoft's whims for many years. When Windows breaks my code, it's up to me to fix it. Sometimes that's been a royal pain. My application also interfaces with Word and Excel, and my code is littered with "if Word version X, do this, else if version XX, do that".
 
What MS calls "standards" are actually a moving target. Even following the rules as dictated by MS is no guarantee they won't break your code, even in a fix release (excuse me, "service pack"). In the end, it's up to the application developer to stay on top of MS (and Apple's) capricious ways. Melda is one developer I'd trust to quickly address any future incompatibilities.
