Possible InstallLib Problems
I'm having a problem with installlib. It seems to be skipping the update of a dll. Here's the code:

  IfFileExists "$INSTDIR\myDll.dll" 0 +2
    StrCpy $ALREADY_INSTALLED 1

  LogText "Im here dude"
  !insertmacro InstallLib REGDLL $ALREADY_INSTALLED NOREBOOT_NOTPROTECTED .\Deploy\dll\myDll.dll $INSTDIR\myDll.dll $TEMP
  LogText "Im still here dude"

The log is producing the following text:

IfFileExists: file "D:\Program Files\myDll.dll" exists, jumping 0
Im here dude
IfFileExists: file "D:\Program Files\myDll.dll" exists, jumping 0
Jump: 1320
Im still here dude 

If I update the dll, the old version stays. See any problems?

Thanks,
Eric <><

Lets get the silly reason out of the way first... Did you update the version number as well?

Nope, but 3 lines above this code is:

SetOverwrite on

That doesn't affect InstallLib. It handles the overwrite mode on its own. You must update the version number for InstallLib to upgrade.

Ouch! I hate losing control;0). Guess I'll have to deal with it. Thanks for the help AGAIN Kichik!
