I once had the exact same problem (different module, though) with a
piece of commercial software (TaxCalc from the Consumers Association, no
less).

I got round it by renaming the existing module in my Windows directory,
doing the setup, then moving the new copy into the same diorector as the
rest of the installed programs, then renaming the original Windows copy
back.

You might then find that the Scout Aider prog will run ok, as the "home"
directory usually gets searched first when it comes to loading DLLs.
