How can I create a separate folder for my dll applications?

Question

I have successfully split a large MFC project into several small DLL projects. Now I want to have a separate folder called "DLL" in my application folder, where all the DLL files from subprojects are located.

Can someone give me a guide on how to do this?

Answer 1

If you use LoadLibrary, you just need to explicitly specify the full path to load the DLL.

If the DLLs are implicitly linked, you can do this in two ways.

• Ask the installer to change the PATH variable. This is an obsessive and "bad form."
• "loader", , .

DLL , .

Answer 2

DLL - (Windows 2000 IIRC). DLL- <myapp>.exe.local, Windows -, LoadLibrary(Ex). DLL.

Answer 3

EDIT: , . .

See How to Search for a Dynamic-Link Library . In short, you can do this using the registry keys in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SORTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ App Paths" section. A reg file like the one below shows how:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\MyApp.exe]
@="C:\\Program Files\\MyCompany\\MyApp\\MyApp.exe"
"Path"="C:\\Program Files\\MyCompany\\MyApp\\MyDLLs"
