Mike,
   I will consider that. This app is a small VST synth. They are small
plugins, dll files themselves, that are used in Windows audio apps. In
my experience none of these *free* VSTs distribute anything other than
their own self-contained VST dll when we get them off the web.
Possibly in the for-money ones do. I'll have to look at the few I own.

   I tried moving it to windows/system and things work fine. I suppose
the risk in that strategy would be losing the dll if I blow the
directory away so I'll keep a copy somewhere else for safety.

   Thanks for your help. 

Cheers,
Mark
