The Simply3D setup program appears to overwrite some system files for OLE2 and Video for Windows Runtime without checking the current version resource information before the files are updated. It required me to re-install VFW runtime and refresh my OLE2 DLLs for proper system operation. Future releases of your product should address these setup issues.

Dear Mark: You're absolutely right. We do compare dates, but due to a minor oops our stuff always comes out as the newest, even if it really isn't. That is being addressed. Thank you for your observation Nick Josephs Visual Software

Well, that still doesn't address the fact that some programs want only THEIR version of things like VFW, not newer, not older. Grollier's Encyclopedia comes to mind. Something is going to have to be done about this whole SETUP.EXE/Installation mess. Your install procedure died on me, AND blew off my boot programs! Luckily, I could NORTON some order back on my disk.
