I don't think anyone would be crazy enough to try to patch a Microsoft
.dll, considering that they've been known to change the files without
changing the version information. ("Patching" the wrong file would
convert the computer into a brick.)
An install may install its version of a .dll without checking to see
which one is newer but if it deletes the existing one, or overwrites
it, and you have the Recycle Bin turned off, there's nothing TU can do
to reinstall the newer version. If the .dll is marked as being
shared, I would hope that TU would at least check to see how many
programs claimed to need it before deleting it. (There's a kind of
"log-in" mechanism to do that - Windows isn't completely brain-dead.)
