windows install does not reinstall all dll's

The windows installer does not reinstall all dll's.

I played with the latest version of cvs and I made an error.
(I got the wrong wxwidgets dll from the net)

So I thought i would install the installation of RC2.
this install how ever did not replace all dll's, there was no messagebox of do yo want to replace or what ever.

This is making my development system unstable, message boxes of I can not load this and that.
(win 2k)

At this moment I am not thrilled to test yet another latest version because there is no easy way back.
if I can just install the old version(stable) back and it work then I love to beta test, especially the wxsmith plugin. :)

kind regards,

Jewe

You can install several version next to one another. But then make sure you keep a good overview. ;-)

Ow... don't do such things.

You *cannot* mix and match those dlls just like you want. This will not work (except by mere coincidence).

Either, download and install the RC2 version (into an empty directory), or install one of the unofficial builds (into an empty directory).
Never mix plugins or the wxWidgets libraries (or any other libraries) from two releases.

While plugins do have a mechanism to detect incompatibilities (to some extent) and exit cleanly with a message telling you about the problem, wxWidgets has no such thing - your application will simply fail to load with a cryptic Windows message because the loader cannot find the symbols.

What happened to uninstall first?

Sorry dude, hope your blood pressure is still fine :D

I could not find any document the describes how to beta test a latest version?
(could be that I mist it.. :))
So i assumed that I had to copy it over the other installed version.
For the sake of registery keys and stuff.

Sorry my mistake :(

Will uninstall the stuff, and install it again.

maybe stupid question, but why don't you create a installation of the unofficial builds?
saves the trouble of getting the correct dll's.
