Windows Side by Side Manifest
InnoScript 10.2 has introduced Windows Side by Side manifest creation and ocx/dll deployment for WinSxS. This is handy if you want to deploy COM dll and ocx files and do not want to register them to help keep the integity on the installed system. The purpose of Side by Side manifest is to be able to deploy different version of a ocx/dll and not have to go thru dll hell. Example: Let's say you have three different applications that share common dll'. You update one application and had to change the common dll and need to deploy your application without disturbing any other application you have installed on a users computer. You can deploy the dll and have your application load it and not use the older version of your custom dll. In this way you do not need to immediately update your other two applications to keep them from breaking. All you have to do is to mark the dll/ocx file in InnoScript and select to deploy a Side by Side manifest and InnoScript will take care of the rest and your application can run without the dll/ocx being registered.
