Re: Different folder of exe and dll

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have an .exe file which uses a .dll that is not located in the same folder
of the .exe.
I do not want to add to the search path the directory where the .dll exists.
How can I do it ?

Have a look at "App Paths" in MSDN (see the "PerceivedTypes,
SystemFileAssociations, and Application Registration" topic). That may
allow you to do what you need, though personally I'd just put the DLL
in the same directory as the EXE.
