Coder has been paid. Max Accepted Bid: Bidding is closed Project Type: Very Small Business Project: under $100 (USD) Bidding Type: Open Auction Categories: Windows, Visual Basic Enter chat room for this bid request (0 active users at Sep 29, 2003 2:26:04 AM EDT) Description: Windows Internet Explorer uses a dll file called shdoclc.dll which varies depending on the OS and the version of IE. It's location also varies according to the OS being used. We need to send our customers an app that deletes their current shdoclc.dll file and replaces it with the appropriate updated version, (which will depend on their current configuration of OS/IE version.) If possible, app should "detect" which OS & IE version the user has and not require the user to enter anything. All I want the user to have to do is download a single executable, run it, and then get a little "Thank You" dialog box. We will supply all the updated versions of the shdoclc.dll files and you can decide the best way to integrate these into the app. But... We'll also need to be able to change the shdoclc files whenever we need to make any updates. We prefer Visual Basic, but would consider other languages.

I could have this program to you within a couple of days, if I gathered the information correctly. Basically: 1.) Search user's hard drive for all instances of 'SHDOCLC.DLL'. 2.) Replace all instances of 'SHDOCLC.DLL' with custom version. 3.) Display 'Thank you' to customer. This could be done very easily, however, I'd be worried that you render IE unusable by replacing every version with yours, so I would have to disclaim myself from all consequences of doing this. However, if this isn't an issue, I could have a working version of this program to you in a few hours, and a fully deployable version within a day or so. Of course, we COULD set it up so that only certain versions of SHDOCLC.DLL will be replaced. Let me know, -Marcus :)           There are 2 private replies to/from Raydr. Click here to view them.
