How to check a DLL exists in system or not

[manjusaharan]

Hi all,

I have an once click application which uses microsoft.mshtml.dll(size 8 mb). I want that this DLL should be downloaded only when client machine dosenot have this DLL otherwise it should skip this file's downloading.

Can anybody tell me how to check whether a dll present in the system or not?

Kindly help me in solving this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Ah great, onceclick. I'm also making an application for it and I must say that sometimes the deployment of these things can be a pain. (In my opinion at least).

That being said, I think the only way to do this is to pack in the packages in your publish - properties. But I think your dll is independant of one of the microsoft redistributables. (That, and my clickonce doesn't work well with the publisher).

I found a msdn - post about your subject too:

Clickie

Hope this helps,
