Hi All,
I intend to store dlls in my app (fbclient.dll, fbembed.dll or gds32.dll
for connecting to Firebird database), these dlls would be extracted to a
folder different from the app folder, if only they are not present in the
user computer.
Please help with :
(1) what the best place to store them, admin restriction comes to mind, but
should be in the search path.
(2) what the best timing for extraction, (a) when the app opens database and
finds out that the required dlls not present then traping the error,
extracts dll then continues, or (b) everytime the app starts, find if the
dlls are presents? (the latter sounds better, but I don't know the time
consuming for locating these dlls in a slow machine).
Elaboration from expert expected, TIA.
HB
