:-) funny, the difference here is that the user has no opportunity to format
c: or go in the registry. In the GMPI installation process , the user has
the opportunity to make a mystake because he is obliged to make the copy
himself and can put it in the wrong folder. Also if it's an update, the user
will have to replace the good DLL otherwise there will be a problem
somewhere...

around hundred DLL in 7 years :-) yes at the beginning when i was calling my
DLL like "limiter.dll", "eq4.dll", "reverb.dll", "chorus.dll" etc... After
i've called my plug-in by "VB_ xxx" or "VB-xxx" or "VB:" but Steinberg came
with a plug-in called "VB-1" so i have to take care about the name of the
DLL.... because a day i'm sure that will get trouble with that again, and
why not a funny competitor which will take exactely the same name as your
DLL to replace your entire set of plug-in and explain to the client that
your plug-ins don't work anymore because these are bugged and are not
compatible with the new ones...
think to security , the actual GMPI installation process is not secure , for
no-one.
