deployment issue

[bene]

i have an application written in vc 7.0

deploying it to XP or win2k is not problem

however, for win98 and winme, the oleacc.dll that comes with the
installation packet(.msi, instmsi?.exe) seems not compatible with those
exists on the target machine.

the solution i found is simply overwrite the oleacc.dll in my application
folder with the oleacc.dll in c:\win98\system\oleacc.dll or
c:\winme\system\oleacc.dll correspondingly.

how should i modify my deployment project given i have the 2 src files on
hand??(i.e. guideline to detect windows version, overwrite on demand)

thx so much

The oleacc dependency has been much discussed in these newsgroups - if
you use www.google.com you can search the groups to find the past
discussions. One possible alternative is to statically link your
project with MFC and delayload that DLL. Another is to use VS2003
which now delayloads that DLL.
