SideBySideInstallation

Side by side installation

Introduction

To have more than one ffactivex instance (for easier maintenance, less dependencies, easier uninstall), you can use use separate Mime Types. This also prevents other ffactivex users on the same from interfering with your installation (and vice versa).

Because the plugin API requires the supported MimeTypes in the version resource of the plugin and you might not want to add a dependency to the complete Mozilla source and ffactivex to your projects, there is a small tool, which transplants a version resource from one executable (which only includes the required version resource) to another (npffax.dll).
