Program to compare dll and vbx files.

Factual Questions
1

Is there a program out there that compares dll and vbx files on your system and points out any version conflicts?

Thanks

I’m not sure if this is the answer you’re looking for, but…

If you’re using Visual Studio, it will automatically check to see if there are any conflicts when you compile the program.
Go to PROJECT --> PROPERTIES --> COMPONENT, and then click Binary Compatibility.

Once this is set, every time you compile it, it will check to see that there are no conflicts (and will ask you if you want to break compatibility).

Actually I was thinking of searching the files on your system already. Not in a programming environment. I have a program that is acting funny after installing some other programs and I’m pretty sure it’s a dll or vbx file conflict somewhere.

Oblong, you might be interested in a software package called Reveal 3.0 at http://www.addisonsw.com/ . This product has saved me lots of time and frustration. It will determine all of your application’s dependencies on a “good” system, which you then use to compare with the files on the system that isn’t functioning properly. Check it out.
