Technical Q&A QTW08
QTW Installation, CD-ROM Drives, DLLs, and Component Files

Do not place the QTW DLL and Component Files on the title CD-ROM, because:

1. Windows DLL conflicts are resolved by the name of the DLL files. The end user will encounter problems if there are old versions of the DLL on the CD-ROM while the hard disk has a new DLL version.

2. The performance when DLL and Component files execute from a CD-ROM drive is very poor compared to the performance when the right files are installed on the system hard disk.

You must follow the instructions of the installation documentation when you use the SETUP.EXE install program.
