    Verifying 3rd party controls

    What is the best way to do if you use a 3rd party control in your program and register it in a client pc. The problem is, there is a big chance that other softwares are using that control, and if you are using an older version, either your program will not work or theirs. If you use such installers as WISE it will not copy files older than what the OS have. So if you didn't upgrade to the latest version of the control you are using, your program will not work. Upgrading to a newer version is not option here.

    Thanks!

    It's called DLL Hell and there's nothing you can do about it. We had to rewrite the app with an older version specifically for that one client who had an older version already.

    Well there are really pretty cool controls out there, profesionally designed and worked fast. They won't cost that much if they can't boast of these things.
    Thanks for the replies!
