DLL files in a special folder? 1

[mrdance]

I don't want all dll:s of my project to reside in the same folder as the application, how can I, for example, tell it to put and look for dlls in \appfolder\dll\ ?

thanks

Are you talking about from within a setup project or???

 

[mrdance]

no, I am talking about the execution folder. Where and how do I change where the exe looks for the dlls?

I think Chrissie posted something on that a while ago... Playing with the GAC to get your .Net DLLs into windows\system32

The .net runtime has a certain algorithm for locating files at runtime, and I think you'll have a very tough time changing it's behavior.
