Hello!

I've found three threads on discussed topic within this forum. However, nobody mentioned about some files which were lost with this installation method.

When we run the setup exe with the /a switch to extract its content we are getting three folders:

Common
LocalAppData
program files

For Win XP it is obvious where content of those three folders should be installed during a normal installation. For Vista x64 it is less obvious while still possible to figure out. However, nobody mentioned that finding a right place for those files is real necessity.

Moreover, I believe nobody relocated discussed files during transferring installed eBook Library from Win x32 machine to Win x64 one.

Yes, the program starts successfully as is but one of the ignored folders, namely Common, contains DLLs:

msvcr70.dll
SonySCSIHelperService.exe
SonySCSIHelperServicePS.dll

Does somebody know what it is and whether it is really unimportant parts of the software?
