Addin call to external dll

[JahMic]

I have an addin that is primarily an exchnage client (ExchEntryPoint),
and I am making calls to other DLLs that I have created. However, it
seems that it can not find these DLLs, if I install them in the same
directory as the addin. What is the best way to get my addin to find
these other DLLs? If possible, I don't want to messing with system
directories or such, that may require eventual admin priviliges.

Thanks in advance,

J

Do you specify the full path when you call LoadLibrary()?

I was doing an implicit load. (i.e. No explicit call to LoadLibrary)
Are you implying then, that making an explicit call is the only way to
do this then?

Thanks, J

Of course, for implicitly loaded dlls, they must either be in the same
directory where the exe resides (which is outlook.exe) or be in one of the
directories specified in the PATH enviroment variable (e.g. Windows,
Ssystem32, etc).
