AFAIK, windows system directory is always looked up first before current 
directory or directories in the path. If there's a way to ignore windows 
system directory I'd like to know. The installation program can detect 
that there's a potential conflict of this kind but there are no good 
solutions, I have chosen to inform the person doing the installation of 
the issue. This is a fundamental Windows design fault or at least the 
designer of the installation program, which put the DLL into system 
directory in the first place, should be blamed.
