Yes, that’s more or less the approach I’d suggested in [the thread I mentioned earlier](http://community.mrtrix.org/t/installation-problem-json-requirements-windows/1512/20) – although I would insert a symbolic link to the library, rather than a full copy:

> I think your best bet will be to create a symbolic link to the right library in the MRtrix3 lib/ folder – our executables are hard-coded to look there first, to make sure they find the right version of the MRtrix3 library (libmrtix-3.0\_RC2.so or similar), which means that any libraries placed here will be used in preference to the system ones – but only for our executables, just what we want…

Glad to hear it’s now working!
