Hi,
I'm trying to build an installer for my app which uses the HD5 DotNet
wrapper and the underlying unmanaged HD5 dlls. I don't want the users to
have to install HD5, I just want to install the HD5 dlls in the right place
as part of my application install.
I'm using Procmon to track dll loading. Everything works fine with the dlls
are "installed" and the folder is on the path. But when I put the unmanaged
dlls in the same folder as the application executable and rename the folder
on the path (to hide it), I get an exception when the .NET HD5 wrapper tries
to load the unmanaged HD5 dlls. I'm having a little trouble understanding
this, because I thought the dll search path includes the folder where
application executable is:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682586(v=vs.85).as
px
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

Andy,
there are probably some dependencies missing for the
unmanaged dlls. Try loading the unmanaged dlls from the output path in
dependency walker and see, if it is able to load them successfully?

I hope this helps?

It was user error. BTW, I’ve found that DependencyWalker doesn’t work well for recent .NET framework apps. So I switched to ProcMon, which has a longer learning curve, but works quite well for dynamic dll load tracing.
