How can I replace multiple files at once?

Jonas Nordgren asks:

I need a program that will replace “x”.dll in a series of programs with an updated version of the “x”.dll.
I have many of these and I dont feel like manually replacing the “X”dll’s for 20+ programs.

Please, be more specific. Why are you willing to manually replace it yourself? Can’t the program do it itself with automatic update?

I don’t really clear what you mean.
You can copy all the files to the folder and click replace all.

I honestly haven’t seen an app like that anywhere. If it’s something you have to do on a regular basis, I think you might want to consider writing a batch script which would do it for you.

If this is a DLL with common functionality used by multiple programs, why isn’t is registered as a system DLL so you only need to have one copy of it on the system in the first place?

there is a copy of x.dll found in over 20 program folders, i have made a modified one, i want to find and replace all copies of the dll with my modified dll. cant be much more specific, the program does not update with my modified dll, it replaces it with another dll. so i have been doing it all one-byone but i thought id check to see if there is a faster way.

Other than writing a batch file containing all the filepaths, I don’t see any other options. It’s still faster than doing it manually anyway.
