Setup + dll problem

Hello... I create a setup application and distribute it to the clients for
testing. This package contains some DLL files that are installed onto the
users Program Files directory (eg. c:\program files\xxx\myDLL.dll). This DLL
now is supposed to function in a certain manner.

The correct version of the DLL is getting installed on all client machines
after running the .msi, but on one machine the DLL is not working fine. It is
not doing what its supposed to do, even though it is the latest one. However,
this is just a prb with one machine. All other clients are fine.

Can somebody plz give some pointers on what is going wrong?

Thanks.

1. One thing you can do is search and see if there are any older
copies of the DLL lying around on that machine and delete them. You
can do a search of all hard-drives and any other writable disks for
the DLL.

2. Then you could try manually deleting the current one that is there,
and then manually copy the one you know is correct without using the
isntaller.

3. It could also be something else (e.g. different computer
configuration) apart from the DLL, that is actually causing the
problem.
