That sounds all right, but what about decreasing the counter? How is the OS
supposed to know when a program doesn't want/need the dll anymore? This
would result in MS "protecting" all dll's so when one is installed, it'll
never go away again!

This could all be avoided by providing a 'common installer' with the OS (as
in Win2k) and have THAT keep track of the dll's usage count (which it
probably does). The only problem is: all programs must use this installer.
