SUMMARY
If your Setup program installs DLLs, check each DLL to make sure that it does not already exist in the target folder. If the DLL already exists, check the version of the DLL that you are replacing to make sure that you are not copying over a newer version. MORE INFORMATION
When you are writing a Setup program you determine where your files should be installed, identify conflicts with currently installed files, and perform the installation process. A conflict occurs when a file that your Setup program will copy is an older version of an existing file. If you downgrade an existing DLL, other applications may not work properly. Always check the file version, and only replace an existing DLL if it is older than the one your Setup program will copy.
