Hi people, Im loading a dll - from windows\system32 , within my own dll that im writing. Now, this all works fine on Windows XP, but, on Vista (and maybe also on xp64, not sure yet) it cannot find the dll in system32 folder, but it works fine when i put the dll right into the host directory (the host being the program where MY plugin runs in (which then loads another dll from system32)...So, im wondering , where does Vista try to load this from? C:\Windows\SysWOW64 maybe?
Thanks! i dont have a vista system here myself to try..
