I did mean installer of V4MD which YOU as developer will use.

This will not be possible, Martin.

This is standard behavior of Director projector ???

I have see that V4MD developer build projector as

    Myproejctor folder
        projector.exe
        PPC xtras
        Carbon Xtras
        Win Extras
    
Yes, I think this is way of external extras...

V4MD will differ now

No way.

But SW is quite different.

Only client will be SW safe. V4MD_Client.
It is small and it is single file, Martin. 300-400KB.
Because all it do -- talk to Valentina Server.

Well, yes other Xtras are all single files as you say.
But for example ADO require Access to be run. Right?
And other db-connectivity xtras.

Valentina now is very very big engine.
And the main -- it uses IBM ICU library, which is even bigger
of Valentina itself. This is why we must have separate folder.

You should become used to this.
