I think the most professional way is:

* you install folder
        
        /Program Files/Astrocalc

* here you install VComponents as is
        /Program Files/Astrocalc/VComponents_win_vc

* you set PATH to this folder:
        /Program Files/Astrocalc/VComponents_win_vc


* And now you install your FIVE apps here also:
        /Program Files/Astrocalc/VComponents_win_vc
        /Program Files/Astrocalc/App1
        /Program Files/Astrocalc/App2
        /Program Files/Astrocalc/App3
        /Program Files/Astrocalc/App4
        /Program Files/Astrocalc/App5

This is THE BEST approach IMHO.

And subfolder in system32 works?
Windows see our dlls there?

Okay, then this also can be acceptable way, and it simplify for you
installer making. No need take care on PATH.

Ivan, Vcomponents/vresources folder IS REQUIRED.
It contains XML files with errors.
Valentina.Init() parse it on start.

I am sure that in WIKI/kernel/VComponents describe elements of this folder.
