Does the Windows registry take care of these problems with Windows that we fight with when installing stuff on Linux?
No, standard practice in the windows world is to include all libs needed for an application in the package. That way the package won't depend on another package, but on the other hand you quickly find yourself in "dll hell" with several different versions of the same dll installed on your system. No system is perfect, you just have to find the lesser of the evils. The linux way is more work, but you usually end up with a cleaner system in the end, if you take the time to do it right. Anders
