I'm curious about the DLL management. If an application supplies a private copy of a system DLL, and Microsoft then issues a fix of the system DLL, I assume that means the application doesn't benefit from the fix? Does the OS or installer raise a flag at that point suggesting getting a new copy of the DLL from the application provider, or offering to use the new system version in place of the private copy, or anything like that? Is there any sort of utility for identifying all the DLLs with multiple instances? Just curious.
