from iWin Software.

SafeInstall98 protects your system folder from installations that
overwrite your newer shared system files with older versions. It also
protects your system folder by backing up deleted shared system files.
It works on 16 and 32-bit DLLs, OCXs, VBXs, EXEs, and DPLs."

I am a satisfied user, but have no other connection with the company.
