Hello,

I have an application that uses several dll's. Is it possible to build the
application in such a way that it searches for these dll's in a different
location, i.e. a separate 'bin' folder in the executable's path?

Thanks
 
It's possible with probing paths defined in the configuration file, but this
kind of question has popped up before and usually is symptomatic of a bigger
issue.
Why do you feel you need to do this?

Hi Peter,

It's not really an important issue. I'm making a tool for developers and
operational people in my organization (to monitor queues, eventlogs, log-,
xml- and configurationfiles on machines in different domains). I would like
them to feel comfortable taking the tool with them, on a USB stick for
example. One of the things I see happening is that people tend to miss a dll
when copying and another point is that they feel less comfortable with the
tool when there are more files then just an .exe and .config. So, it's more
of a psychological aspect that I would like to organize dll's and other
support files in separate folders. :)

Greetz,
Marcel
