Is the DLL/COM redirection as described in the link below not working
anymore on Windows XP? If I put a file next to the applications
executable with the name: 'application.exe.local', the application
does not try to load the DLLs and OCX files from the application's
directory.

Looking with FileMon from SysInternals (http://www.sysinternals.com),
I see that a backslash is appended to the filename
'application.exe.Local\'which results in a 'NAME INVALID' error.

This does work on Windows 2000. Is this a bug in Windows XP? Is there
a workaround?

TIA,
Marcel.
