I have one more idea to check.

We now use Visual .NET, so this is new for us.
May be problem with DLL dependency.
This is easy to check.

So if you have no DLL as it need then your Director cannot register it

Correct, I want to do this -- ability to have both Xtras in folder.
And yes, Global methods can conflict...
