Hi Renaud,
Thanks for the info.

I have a quick query for you! What was basic idea to rely on registry
entries to check for the hotfix installation?

Checking the registry was faster and easier for us given the SMB  
implementation we had at the time.


As you said, nowadays it is cumbersome to rely on registries to
confirm patch installation.  Does checking dll file versions will be a
better method to overcome this issue?

Yes, looking at the DLL is definitely more reliable and that's what  
we intend to stick to.
