Side-by-side DLLs: a must read for any unmanaged Visual C++ 2005 user

I have just found a new tutorial article written by Richard Grimes that explains the whole side-by-side DLL situation with the runtime library etc.

The content of this article is incredibly valuable.  I hope that the MSDN help is updated to reflect a lot of the information in this article.

Here it is:

Thanks go out to Richard for investigating this area with a fine tooth comb and exposing what is happening under the covers. 

Ted.

    I agree.  Although the article is somewhat opinion heavy, I hope people can put those comments aside, as there is quite a good lot of useful information there.
