Applications / Re: Java program works in one partition but not the other on same machine

Thread-drift: if you record which apps requires which DLL, then you should be finer than fine. I guess the list of exceptions (not a CPU's) to be tested isn't that long. Some apps require a specific version of a DLL, and most of those apps are older than current DLL versions.
Sometimes it does help to avoid installers. A recent example is the WarpIN version of the browser Links. It's bad and it's evil, unless you really want to meet the devil of e.g. JPEG.DLLs. Nevertheless the install script of Links can be used to create an own INSTALL.CMD, with Dave's earlier LIBPATHSTRICT and BEGINLIBPATH added to the object's settings. In my case it's an added bonus that I don't have to backup both the whole install package and the installed files anymore.
Let's return to Java...
