    Installing a 3rd party dll in C:\windows folder - Is this ok?


    Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=5LvC_UaEhvA&t=8sThird party app called as algomojo installs its DLLs in C:/windows folder. Personally, I always thought touching windows os folder is not a good practice. However, the developer algomojo claimsI would like to know right practices and if algomojo's installation could harm the windows OS folders in any way.ThanksTarak

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Installing a 3rd party dll in C:\windows folder - Is this ok? ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

    msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll in C:\

    Hello back TPU!

    Yesterday I saw two files(msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll) in my C:\ disk folder. What does this mean? I know this two files should be in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 or somewhere in C:\Windows but not in main disk folder. I deleted this files but files appeared again today. Is this a virus or maybe an application? How can I check this?
