Search order of DLLs

[mphanke]

Hi,

I have a question concerning the search order of DLLs and whether I can
take influence on how they are loaded.

The following is my situation:

I have a plugin design for my application. It is stand alone if compiled
as exe, a plugin if compiled as dll.

If compuled as plugin I would like to install the application to a path
like x:\somewhere\HostApp\Plugins\PlugIn1. So far no problem, but if I
load the plug1.dll it has dependencies, which are not found in the
HostApp directory, and not somewhere else on the system, because they
are in .\Plugins\PlugIn1. Is there a way I can change that
programmatically?

Any solution is apreciated,

Martin

Hi Martin,

If your plugin loads its dependent dll explicitly, how about use the
GetModileFileName(...) to get the plugin's directory, when handling the
DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH event within the DllMain function?


Thanks!
