I'm in the process of making a Multi-player module for a space simulator called orbiter.

how do tell my program to look in a directory for my DLL, at the moment it loads in the same folder as the .exe, I need to change this. I'm using Implicit Linking.

Thanks

DLL search path used on Windows.

If you want to control the location of the loaded DLL, you'll need to use explicit linking and provide a path in the call to LoadLibrary. Be sure to read this article as well for some caveats.

In theory, you can also delay load the DLL and use SetDllDirectory() to add the DLL's directory before calling any DLL functions.
