Good info, thanks for that. My client didn't want an installer (they used to use one but for this app they wanted a plain zip file.) It's useful to know that the dll isn't signed though, for future reference. We did ask one affected person to move the app folder to their Documents folder and a

Followup on the code signing hunch: We know in the Apple world a lack of code signing can get an app banished by Apple's Gatekeeper. So perhaps a Windows machine with high security requirements also blocks exes or dlls that are not signed. It looks to me like RunRev does not code sign the dlls u

The file is in the build and Win 7 can find it. Win 10 can't. It isn't that the file doesn't exist, it's that Win 10 can't see it. On 1/14/2016 3:15 PM, Roger Eller wrote: I don't know when it started, but even in Win7 I have had to include it in the copy files pane for quite a while. It seems
