Hi Mihai!

Thanks for your reply.

We certified our product for Windows Vista and one of the required tests was the auto-repair feature. This worked without any problems so I am a litte surprised that there are issues now when using Windows 7.

Hi!

In my project, I ngen my libraries using this approach:

Hi there!

After installation of my program I tried to test the auto-repair functionality by removing a dll from the application directory. Starting the application does not lead to a auto repair action. Instead the application fails. Do I have to configure the files or components in any special way ...
