I can’t help with the .dll issue as I’m a Mac user.
In principle, you should only install EpiData once on any computer, or at least only once for any one user. As with most software these days, EpiData stores some settings in a standard location separate from the data directory. You can create shortcuts to the software in multiple directories that include a parameter pointing to the startup settings (startup.pgm) you want to use.
That’s an advanced procedure, though.

PS: I organize my project as separate installations where both data and executables are kept in their own folder structure. Is this a problem - maybe a wrong instance of the library is executed? DS

In a recent course 3 of 5 pc's all with the full suite installed showed a strange behaviour of EntryClient and Manager. The exe apparently started and was running, but not to be found on the screen. I suspected a wrong position failure, but could not access the place where the ini file is placed.
What we did then was to copy only the exe file to another folder, eg a subfolder of the desktop. And then it worked. I am annoyed by not knowing the mechanism behind. The analysis did not show the same problem.
We will discuss in the core group what to do. Maybe a completely different dll and place of ini on startup could be a solution to implement and test in the coming release.
How important is it for users that we have user defined place on screen at startup. If we had a default startup in the middle of the screen some problems would be avoided. E.g. when you sometimes use two external screens and forget to move to screen 1 on a laptop .
Any idea or consideration is welcomed.

Dear list, I have also had problems starting Manager and Entryclient. Thank you for pointing at the Libeay32.dll. I am not an expert on this, and need some advice:
The file is part of any EpiData installation. Renaming it to something else makes the application start as a first time execution, and I am asked to select a working directory etc, and after that is done once, the program seems to work normally.
However, there are other application folders that contain the same library. When I copied one of these files into the EpiData directory as suggested in a former post, the ssleay32.dll file reported an error.
I would therefore highly appreciate advice on how to correctly deal with this issue.

Two suggestions. 1. For Windows and Linux, a startup parameter to reset the screen position would be useful. It’s possible with Mac, but a bit problematic for many to use the command line. 2. My preferred: define a key combination that resets the screen position to some default, like mid-screen, as you suggest, Jens. This would work on all platforms. Something like <shift><ctrl>W?
