... just curious ...

Imagehlp.dll is usually located in the system directory (GetSystemDirectory()).

thnx.. got it.
imagehlp.dll - C:\WINDOWS\system32 - 141KB - 28.02.2006 14:00
since this is not the install date of my computer, it should be the compile date of the dll...

... just was curious if I have it because ts said it was optional ...

you misunderstood.
It's default, but you can uncheck some components, and one of this
default, but optional components install this dll.
Win9x is the last windows, you can change programs to install, like games,
paint, and so on.

Then it is not really a part of Windows in the first place.
Its a redistributable dll that just happens to be used by a program that comes with Windows.
If you use it, you should distribute the dll along with your program to be sure.
