running side by side apps with different versions of the devart dbexpress oracle driver?

Post by costa » Fri 18 Dec 2015 01:37

We have a requirement where we might have to run two versions of the same app on the same workstation. The problem is that one version uses version 6.3.6 of the Devart dbexpress oracle driver, and the other one uses version 6.7.10.

Is it doable? Our setup puts the dbexpoda40.dll to the c:\windows\system32 directory.

Thank you

Hello,

In order for different applications to work with different versions of the library, you should place the library directly to the application folder (with the exe file). In this case, an application will load "its own" library.
